Maybe when chinese tourists take a selfie in front of the Apollo 11 lander stage, but then maybe not.

Well, the rumored Chinese fireworks didn't went off.....

In other news, I don't know if Mr. Musk went with this launch for lunch, but apparently he just had ramen noodles for dinner.....in Shinjuku  (Tokyo). (see his latest Twitter post) Hmm........?  ::)

For Chris: Time to kick off the CRS-4 party right?  ;)

Do we have a title? Maybe this thread is where to hash one out  if we don't? I forget.

Wasn't there already one about mice?
If I like something on NSF, it's probably because I know it to be accurate.  Every once in a while, it's just something I agree with.  Facts generally receive the former.

7 for 7 F9R launches so far, with another one coming soon.
Can we start calling this yawn boring ?

You know, this is what helped to kill off the Apollo moon landings. NASA got so good at it the public got bored. Watch out Elon!  ;D

Just today I received links to a website from a 'well-meaning' clown desperate to convince me that Apollo and most manned spaceflight is a hoax. God, when will it ever end...  :'( :(

Well everyone knows Columbus never visited America. This has all been a gigantic hoax for the past 500 years in order to steal Queen Isabella's jewels.  ;D

It does't do any good to argue with crazy people. They are going to believe what they want to believe. I don't waste my time with them anymore.

I think the evidence collected by amateur radio folks during Apollo 11 lunar descent is absolute.  But some folks want to remain deluded it seems.

Edit: that would be interesting data to have, I have only seen it.

"The Mice on the (Artificial) Moon"

(NOTE: "The Mouse on the Moon" was a 1960s British comedy about a tiny European Duchy that managed to send people to the Moon when they found that their foul-tasting national wine was actually an excellent propellent - thrust was barely adequate by the Isp was excellent. Peter Sellers was in the lead role, IIRC. A satellite or space station is, of course, an artificial moon)
