Delta IV Heavy Launch

NASA and ULA are launching a Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying the Parker Solar Probe. If successful it will skim through the sun's upper atmosphere and become the fastest man-made object in history.
Yesterday's launch was scrubbed, this is the second attempt. Weather is 95% go.

Coverage has started, liftoff is scheduled for 3:31AM Eastern US time, with a 65 minute window.

I hope this shit blows up.

How's it going, Elon?

Elon? Fuck NASA those lying fucks. We never went to the moon. They siphon our money and feed us lies. SUCK A GIANT DICK FAGGOT.

Earth isn't moving at all. Space is fake and gay and you're lowlife scum.

Until we see the North and South poles without their fuckery I couldn't care less.

I mean, ULA deserves no less, but it'd be better if their military or commercial contracts blew up rather than scientific ones.

Any anons living in Florida may be able to view the launch.

>scientific
Its not going to the sun. They're not learning anything. This is a launch to say "Hey guys! NASA is still relevant!"

How does it feel to be a lowlife soulless faggot?

No Elon “Fraudster” Musk around? Why?

Also, wtf why did NASA pay so much money when they can get the same rocket for 1/4th the cost from SpaceX or 1/3rd the cost from Arianespace or 1/10th the cost from Russia???

Please keep the flat earth stuff to a minimum. That's not the topic of this thread.

11 minutes until scheduled liftoff.

reee I already had a thread up. oh well

Stay mad lying cuck.

Filtered. Can't see you anymore so don't respond.

Flat earth is bullshit to distract from hollow earth.

NASA so᠌yboys can't handle the truth.

My bad user, I didn't see it.

Anons can use whichever thread

I suppose the contract is a little older and Falcon Heavy only has launched once so far.

>flag
checks out

it's mainly a C3 issue. PSP needs a C3 of 153.79. The STAR 4th "stage" is the main reason DIVH can do this particular mission profile. FH doesn't have the C3 capabilities (basically, how far it can throw something into deep space). FH is great for LEO though

What will people do when the solar probe verifies the electric universe model of the sun?

Coming up to booster sep.

Ayys will blow it up.

Hello. My name is Justin Trudeau and I am the Prime Minister of Canada. I enjoy watching my wonderful wife, the joy of my life getting pumped full of verile nigger semen. Sophie is just so beautiful as she gets spit-roasted by all the niggers my taxpayers can afford. The niggerer the better. I jack off into my mommies panties just thinking about how my 'father' let Fidel Castro, The Rolling Stones, their roadies and many, many more do the same. Cuckolding is a long standing Trudeau tradition and as my wife swallows their nigger semen I can't help but think of my upcoming faggot parades when I too, can eat mens cummies. My name is Justin Trudeau and I'm the biggest cockolding faggot ever alive.

We have BECO, stage sep complete.

Fuck this CGI NASA BULLSHIT

Dude why? Do you not want to unlock the secrets of fusion? Do you enjoy poverty?

It's a miracle these monkeys went to the moon

It's a KSP twitch stream oy vey

FUCK NUCLEAR ENERGY BITCH

How come I can watch some redbull douchebag jump from orbit but not a NASA rocket

It's getting real fucking old. Just put a camera on the rocket and let us watch that. Of course, that never happen though.

And the chat is disabled.. great

I'd like to separate her butcheeks like those stages

Because the redbull douchebag isn't funded by taxpayers.

Also because the redbull douchebag jumped from the stratosphere, not space, and definitely not from orbit.

That NASA slut doesn't even know what the FUCK she's talking about. Just throwing out buzzwords.

Loos are measured with the metric system ?

Falcon Heavy can easily do this mission with the third-stage, people have done the calculations and it would give this probe about 1.5X more Delta V than the Delta 4 can. The reason Falcon Heavy can't launch this mission is because it's only flown once, and therefore obviously isn't qualified to do high-priority NASA missions; also, the contract for this launch was signed 6 years ago when FH didn't exist...

Oh, no, they found out, shut it down!

Of course french man. Thanks for superior units system. You guys are spared in the upcoming race war.

>also, the contract for this launch was signed 6 years ago when FH didn't exist...
OH I GET IT!! They use NASA rocket Launches to show the public some semblance that our money is being used for good purposes when in reality THEY STEAL TRILLIONS FROM US.

perhaps. But yeah, for a class-B mission like PSP I don't even think Elon would accept the responsibility of putting PSP on FH's 2nd launch ever

Here's a really shitty pic of what you can see from 100 miles away.

Even the NASA scientists use football fields as a unit of measurement.

That's to make the distance relatable to brainlets.
