Russia kicks US off of ISS
- Thread starter BigNBushy
- Start date
Actually it was from your heavy lift link you left, admittedly Mine was also written in 2011, just like yours was, don't deny it, it super easy to prove. Check it out http://www.spacex.com/press/2012/12/19/spacex-announces-launch-date-worlds-most-powerful-rocket
Check out the upper left hand corner, what is the date please?
Is it 2011? Why yes it is, that makes you a lying sack of shit.

If you scroll down on my link you will see Falcon Heavy Updates..Which will bring you more current news on Falcon Heavy..Your Link was about NASA in 2011 No updates on page. Please learn to read the whole page so you can be better informed. I post my link again with my quote. Scroll down and read updates
I also see you said nothing about you being wrong about U.S. not being able to perform heavy lift..and guess how much it will cost you the tax payer.

The falcon heavy will hopefully be ready in 2015 for its first mission.
I say hopefully because it was supposed to happen in 2013.

Looking at the success of the F9 and with the new Russian threat the focus will be heavy on the FH. SpaceX hasn't announced a precise date for their Falcon Heavy demo flight, but they have just added it to their schedule for 2014.

We need these rockets. I hope we get them sooner rather than later.
Best date I saw was late 2015 for their first mission, not demonstration. They mentioned they would have the last "core" built at the end of this year.
Here is their mission manifest:

Edit: looks like they moved the demo to early 2015.

Yup...the bottom line is we still are doing space exploration . Its just that we now have private companies ( with investors ) doing the work, so when the Russians say they won't give us a ride in 2020..tell them to fuck off. I believe in the talent of the people of my nation. This just adds motivation to get it done. Best part NASA don't have to foot the bill.

It would be much better if each country has its own space facilities - it would force space exploration and we would be on Mars already. In the UK, for example https://www.skyrora.com/skylark-l, the space industry began to grow. India also launches rovers to Mars.
