SpaceX Lands Stage 1 on Land!
AshenkaseWhile the Blue Origin vertical landing is difficult and an accomplishment in its own right comparing it to Spacex is a little unbalanced:
http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/24/9793220/blue-origin-vs-spacex-rocket-landing-jeff-bezos-elon-musk
Twice the speed, twice the height, more burns, a more complex flight path and a much larger, thinner vehicle to name a few differences.
You may want to watch this video on what Spacex has planned for the remaining stages of its stack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSF81yjVbJE
To be fair that stack has the Dragon capsule on top and not a satellite delivery bus but the goal to return multi stages is part of the Spacex vision.
"If" Spacex can get the "heavy" version of their vehicle up and running with stage return they will be a force unequalled in launch across the entire industry. That is if they can turn around their stages without compromise to structural integrity.
The booster is not orbital. It's on a ballistic, suborbital flight just as for the Blue Origin booster. The second stage goes to orbit and note that they are not trying to recover that one at all, let alone land it.
In fact, the SpaceX booster does several deceleration burns in space, and so experiences less aerodynamic stress than does the Blue Origin booster, which actually flies faster, according to the article I linked above.

PaybackOddly enough, vertical video would have been better for this, but he even screwed that up...
Why is it always video from the one guy with the flip phone?
Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 Gameplay Trailer
Jinx says...I don't think it's a hoax and I don't think their intention is to take people's money and run.
but.
Their business is predicated entirely on building hype. My feeling is they have to walk an all too fine line between making a game and creating vertical slice type proof of concept demos in order to generate and maintain interest. Essentially my concern is that getting your potential customers to invest in the promise of an amazing game will devolve into selling promises. I'm not convinced it hasn't happened already.
Releasing games is so passe but I'm sure they'll have a version 1.0 at some point with a launch party etc. It'll be interesting to see what the game actually looks like at that point. It would nice to be surprised, but I don't think I will be.
Oh. And pre-orders are the devils work.
For vaporware...it's amazingly....existant
It's funny to watch Star Citizen truther trolls claim it doesn't exist when there are hundreds of thousands of people who have played it and the numerous livestreams out there on youtube.
An earlier version is on my computer that I can play right now.
But yeah, keep pretending that it's some grand conspiracy perpetrated by the mustache-twirling Chris Roberts....who would have gotten away with it too..if it weren't for that meddling Derek Smart.
I got my invite to the PTU earlier this week. Sadly, I'm not going to bother with it because 1. my video card is shitty and can barely load the game in it's current state and 2, they're constantly patching it and the patches are huge and I just don't want the hassle.
I'm curious what the next excuse will be when the game is released? @Jinx, @rancor can you enlighten me? Generally the just switch some other trivial gripe instead of admitting they were wrong.
No faith is required @OverLord. The game exists and is playable albeit still in pre-pre-pre-pre alpha. The only difference is that you never hear about regular games until they've had years of development already done. With Star Citizen, we've known about the development right from the very beginning, we've seen the game grow from the basic hangar module that was first released to what it is now...warts and all.
If it were a hoax, it's the most inefficient hoax of all time. Let's waste lots of money hiring A-list actors for the single player campaign that, were it a hoax, we could just run off with the money. And tell me..what is the supposed end game for this hoax? Is Chris and Sandi going to skip town with a suitcase full of money cackling maniacally as they twirl their mustaches? Any damsels tied to the train tracks I should know about that need rescuing?

Chinese Chemical Plant Fire and Explosion
articianActually in this case, the vertical video was because of his stupid phone. He actually had it oriented correctly there at least at the end.
Crazy guy for standing so close after the explosions.

It'll haunt me forever ... that vertical iPhone shot. Seriously though pretty cool - that glass break at the end looked very real, were there multiple layers there?

RFlaggYeah, that's the one. The thread got shut down for some reason, but I also wasn't a fan of the vertical video and sound quality and found what I thought would be a slightly better vid.
Was this the one that made reddit front page?
How to Make a Chicken Walk like Dinosaur
lucky760Me neither, but here's the explanation from above:
If you watch the upper-legs, you may see the difference, but it would definitely be much improved to have the two chicken videos side-by-side. So interesting that they raised the test chickens with the tail always affixed to them.i didnt see the difference.
Upside Down Whale Breach
Jinx says...I pity the person standing there too busy watching it through their phone in a desperate attempt to capture the ephemeral that they missed the experience entirely. Still, I suppose in the end I'm glad that they did, vertically or no, because holy shit I just thought hard about whales and the fact they are a thing, a massive, monstrous, totally awesome thing, that exists.
That was awesome. Imagine how beautiful that looked when not watching through those awkward, rectangular portholes.
