SpaceX just announced their first civilian passenger for a flight around the moon and back, in 2023

One guy bought out the entire BFR which originally seats 100 people, and he's giving away 6 to 8 seats for free, to artists from around the world.

not gentoo shitposts = not suitable for Jow Forums? these bastards are advancing humanity more than any other person.

got me there
mate, you can untoggle posts as (You)'s, go be a samefagging newfag elsewhere
they all going to die and that will be the end of private space flight.
that's grimes with the purple and white hair isn't it.
The internal volume of this ship is bigger than the fucking ISS. It completely dwarfs the Apollo spacecraft.
Artists are expendable test subjects.
>test
you're a mongoloid.
Ok, but why? What's the purpose? I guess there is some novelty in experiencing space travel, but its nothing more than a joy ride.
>seeing earth from afar with your own eyes
>seeing the moon from up close
>experiencing zero gravity
yawn
wake me when they can do something really useful, like mass produce them for under a couple million or something
>what is reusable booster
yawn, fall asleep and never wake up you brainlet.
they've literally already done that
>seeing earth from afar with your own eyes
>>experiencing zero gravity
You can do it on plane
>seeing the moon from up close
Well, shit.
>why would anyone travel
NPC detected
>You can do it on plane
no you can't. I'm talking from afar.
also planes never reach anywhere near zero g you brainlet
>zero g in a plane
they call it the vomit comet, its a high altitude transport that nosedives, anyone inside experiences weightlessness. not EXACTLY zero g but close enough
You can do zero g parabolic flight patterns on a plane, to get true zero g for 20-30 seconds. Anything that is in freefall is experiencing zero-g.
>weightlessness
low g is nowhere near zero g you mongoloid
My question is, how much training is this guy going to get before going up? Is he going to come back all wobbly? Or maybe even sprain something on the way up?
All fake. No one has ever left the atmosphere, that's a fact. Just look into it.
how about we talk about the new BFR revision
>canards
>three fins
>two fold up for reentry
There isn't zero g in space either user
>center of lift ahead of center of mass

>cheap enough for civilians to buy seats
Billionaires are civilians. Can you buy a seat?
he is giving seats to artists for free. I bet he has offered grimes a seat and elon has said no (she is his girlfriend)
dumb japanse ebay seller thinks taking 6artists with him to the other side of the moon is deep.
he will kill them all and set back culture by 10 years.
you really think those boys are going to generate substantial lift on the way up?
it's not likely to get very far if it's more aerodynamically stable backwards
pretty sure the engines are gimballed, so I guess they're going to do some active control to offset aero loading on the fins
i think this is awesome and great. im just wondering when are we going to end up building a proper space outpost or lunar base. ISS is tiny sure it was advance for what we could do then, but when are are going to get some space odsessy sized rotating platforms
Oh yeah, SpaceX 'announcing' another outlandish idea.
Tell me more about this incredible breakthrough in aerospace engineering.
