wtf
Is this real?
Is this Elon Musk guy actually making private Space tech?
There are being presented as real images and video:
Tesla Car in Space?
I had no idea this guy was actually putting his tech into operation
I need to learn more about this guy. What sort of regulations/interference has he faced? Has NASA commented on his activities? Are there other private Space tech companies in the world?
Most importantly has Eddie Bravo seen this?

It's been done.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Some criticisms of this SpaceX that have caught my attention:
1. According to the story, the rocket they used (or parts of it) are RE-USABLE, and actually came back down and landed on some barge in the middle of water somewhere. However the only video they have of this historic moment in space technology was captured by a handful of crappy videos... All kind of shitty. People asking why not invest in quality HD camera crew to document this amazing event. I am no physicist but to me it looks super weird to see a rocket land on itself like this, looks like a launch in reverse, lol
2. During the LIVE broadcast of the actual landing (not the tests), the video cuts out for an actual second as it lands. One of the techs and SpaceX PREDICTS this, saying the vibrations sometimes cuts out the satellite feed.
3. No stars visible in space
4. Actual release of the car from its rocket case or whatever happens in like less that a second, just a flash of light then BAM the car is in space.
Here are the videos of the landings:

I stand corrected, here are more videos of landings
This Elon Musk guy supposedly has billions of dollars and the absolute highest technology... and is planning his biggest endeavor yet; to take 2 rich passengers on a flight towards the moon, loop around, and back.
Amazing, right??
But didn't they do that over 40 years ago (1969)? Didn't they not just go to the moon and back, but actually LAND, get out of their craft, walk around, play golf, and drive a jeep?
Why by any stretch of the imagination should this be a difficult or impressive feat for Elon Musk to accomplish?

Exactly. It would be a miracle to do something we did 50 years ago no sweat several times with narry a hiccup. If it looks, smells and tastes like a bunch of bullshit, it's probably a bunch of bullshit. How rich would Elon Musk be without Government subsidies? He's a billionaire welfare queen.
