Carl Sagan Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 The pictures don't really convey the scale of this. Just the SuoerHeavy booster is 71m (233 feet) tall. The Pride Park pitch is 105m, so this is two-thirds the length of that. A first time catch. The line from The Karate Kid is something like "Man who catch fly with chopsticks, can accomplish anything". To catch a giant spaceship with chopsticks? We're going to Mars! cstand, Andicis, Foreveram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I just wish that Sissy SpaceX wasn't such a jerk. The whole project is just so innovative, and I wish it all the success in - and out of - the world, but I wish that Musk would just fade away.

Stive Pesley Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 It's certainly impressive because of the sheer scale of it, but it's not like catching a fly with chopsticks is it? That's a terrible analogy. The rocket is being manoeuvred to hover in place and then the arms grab it. A better analogy is that it's like catching a massive drone in the palm of your hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
