SpaceX Interplanetary Transport System

[scottmanley]

Guess what I'll be building in my KSP livestream tonight?

[Danymok]

It's been many years, and we're actually seeing progress now, cant wait for this to be real.

[autum]

Me: *back from SN8, SN9, SN10, SN11, SN15 landing, OFT-1, IFT-2, IFT-3 IFT-4* A new space era is arriving

[juan]

This is the kind of stuff that should get people excited. Not a new phone or getting to see famous people. Although I would be very excited if I met Elon.

[lisafischer]

Can we just talk about the quality of :
- The song
- The animation
- Elon musk

[anventia]

Anyone else amazed at how far they've come from this to IFT-2?!!!

Edit: Holy moly IFT-3 was spectacular and IFT-4 was absolutely mind-blowing! Can't wait for the catch on 5!

What's going to be incredible is the slow progression towards the realisation of this vision. Test firings of the raptor engine (Check), SpaceX to find their feet again with the Falcon 9, the launching of the Falcon Heavy, Red Dragon, tests of this rocket, full scale launch.

So much more needs to take place for this to become a reality. It's absolutely incredible and with so many steps needed to make this vision a reality, no matter how we go it's going to be an incredible journey. Godspeed SpaceX, Mars awaits!

As a suicidal person struggling with holding on for dear life, this does keep me going. If I had succeeded in 2007, I'd have missed out on so much fun. Thanks SpaceX for giving some of us some things to distract us from our disturbed minds. Also for letting Labpadre and co. to install cams so we can be part of your daily operation even if its just a loud cryo tanks buzz and construction vehicles beeping. I may be in South Africa but I feel like I am walking around Boca Chica..

There will be a day when I stop re-watching this, but today is not that day.

[ekpilot]

FINALLY! Everyone this is the beginning

[ascherlafayette]

This thing was a fever dream less than a decade ago, and it's days from flying today. Unbelievable

[jeffery]

You finally made it.
Let's keep going.

[sagewaterdragon]

I'm crying right now.
The future is beautiful.

[lukacule]

And he's calling the first ship " The Heart of Gold ". Brings a tear to my eye... Douglas Adams finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[victorillo]

The fact that we are literally seeing the tower in the video being built irl, and the top part of the rocket being tested actively these days... It's just... Damn

I hope I live long enough to see the first man on mars

Dec 2020. Im 23.
I will reply this comment when we land on Mars.
Humanity will do it and we are going to see it.

March 2021. Im 23
Starship SN10 has just landed for the first time.

May 2021. Im 23
SN15 has landed (for real) successfully.

Nov 2022. Im 25.
Still waiting. Still confident to know we are going to do it. With Artemis we are going to the Moon again. Matter of time.

March 2023. Im 26.
First almost orbital flight with the Super Heavy Booster. It's crazy to think that at the beginning of this thread, three years ago, not even a Starship had been flown before. Per aspera ad astra.

[haydenjackson]

To think of how much this has changed and progressed is wild in 7 years is absolutely nuts
