Live presentation coming up today at SpaceX
Starting now. 3pm EST
Yep, Elon editing his slides. "Make red planet a bit more redder!'.
Info so far is the launch vehicle is 3.6 times more powerful than the Saturn V and has 42 engines. Douglas Adams was right all along…
As cool as all this is, I am still a little disappointed that our space exploration takes place on the back of a missile still… was hoping something more YT-1300ish by now…

Cylons need to be built or it doesn’t count
And thanks… now I have that vid running in the back ground while I work… I love this kinda stuff. Dont understand half of it, but still love it.
Those guys (Musk and that Blue Origin guy) must have gigantic phallus complexes.
Whatever. I still like those rockets.
