SpaceX, the Hawthorne-based rocket venture, has successfully reached orbit with its Dragon spacecraft, the company said.
The company's massive Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Wednesday at 7:43 a.m. Approximatley 10 minutes later, the Apollo-like Dragon space capsule appeared to reach low Earth orbit. The entire event was streamed live from the company's website.
The live video cut out after Dragon reached orbit. Shortly thereafter the company tweeted: "Beautiful launch! Dragon is in orbit. Will provide status updates as available." |

This feels kind of lame and already done, but it's really interesting as a private company has launched their own spacecraft into space and back. |

Yeah, he's retarded but what else is new? I support Clotho being fired into space. |

Let's all pool our money and try to send Clotho to space. |

I'm sure he'd be swimming in space. _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

we have come from the planet retardulax... when your earth vessel arrived at our world, we were astonished to find a bigger retard than was even foretold in the legends. we have executed him according to the prophecy, and now... we will DESTROY earth! |

Clotho is interesting in that it's this guy you all know well, who I basically don't know at all.
I guess that's another reason to love the chat.
Actually, 1600 posts???
Maybe I just gloss over them. |

He was a prominent and insufferable GunZ participant. I think that's where most of us first acknowledged his existence. Now people treat him like an omega level threat only eclipsed by the Darth Goldys and SSJPrinces of the world. Maybe part of the joke is to overemphasis his importance since we now lack a communal bop bag. What a pack of drama queens!

STFU Seru! You're just sticking up for him because you're afraid if we destroyed him then FTU's ANIME CROWD would suffer in the balance of power. You know you and Seika are little princes here, and you can't stand the idea of losing that! |

“Freeman’s last lecture, toward the end of his stay, was a marvelous thing,” an Orion engineer named Brian Dunne told me. “He decided to take Orion to the ultimate. It was funnier than hell. First I didn’t believe it. Then I did. Then I didn’t. It was just so outlandish, beyond anything we had ever envisioned before.”
What Dyson proposed was a 240-million-ton ark with a pusher plate 90 miles in diameter and powered by hydrogen bombs. It was a modest vessel, really, the smallest possible practical version of a class of 6,000-miles-per-second starships he had dreamed up, dreadnoughts capable of crossing our solar system in a month. His starship would be slow off the starting blocks, with a zero-to-6,000-mps time of 30 years, but then it would really get rolling. Dyson addressed small details, like questions of plumbing. Nuclear-pulse propulsion, even in the small, pokey, atom-bomb-powered version of the Orion ship designed to tool around this solar system, required that each nuclear bomb be packaged in propellant—some material that, when vaporized into a plasma stream by the explosion, would strike the pusher plate and provide the necessary kick. For his starship, Dyson proposed recycling the feces of the astronauts as propellant. Riding a thermonuclear shit storm, his ark would carry several thousand colonists to Alpha Centauri on a 150-year voyage. |

Clotho has no presence in the chat, Chris. Not that I have seen. _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

It took a lot of work for me to get Clotho to stop bothering us in the chat. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |
