WHAT?! SpaceX manned moon fly-around to launch from Florida

"SpaceX is planning to fly two private citizens on a trip around the moon late 2018. The company said the historic mission will launch from pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center on Central Florida’s Atlantic Coast.

SPACEX LINK MOONCATIONS!!!!

I did not expect this at all.

[–]ryanhindinger 80 ポイント81 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Flying to the moon and back for FH Demo makes some sense. Actually landing there makes less.

[–]_gosh 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

They need to test landing it somewhere close enough to Earth.

[–]Bobalogy -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I do not believe that Crew Dragon has the capability to land on the moon without significant modifications.

[–]DerpyFish2 78 ポイント79 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It would be nice if they would be clear how exactly they plan on making their announcements.

[–]WillHanz11 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I heard it's a moon mission

[–]SharpKeyCard 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If I hear the word moon thrown around I hope it also includes the word people. I know we have a customer booked for the moon so let's hope if it is moon, it's a manned moon mission.

[–]darinofsb 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, there you go!

[–]ThatRoboticsGuy 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

From the same unverified tweet people are sharing or from a source that is reasonable trust worthy?

Why do you do these private conference calls with the media Elon? Let us listen in!

[–]partoffuturehivemind 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well he didn't say it was a public announcement.

[–]how_do_i_land 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

How many announcements by SpaceX are not made with a livestream or youtube live?

[–]MutatedPixel808 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If it wasn't public he wouldn't have put it on twitter.

[–]Jef-F 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So why would he announce it publicly?

[–]kurbasAK 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Elon and punctuality doesn't go well together.But I bet it's worth waiting

[–]bvr5 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Could there have been a misunderstanding from USA Today? The claim that they're streaming an otherwise-secretive event (if there is one) seems suspect.

[–]ahalekelly 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Apparently it's a conference call with the media? But I don't know why SpaceX isn't streaming it, or why they would allow USA Today to.

[–]bvr5 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Conference calls often aren't made public. They are probably giving the media time to write up articles before the info goes public.

[–]Titanean12 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If that turns out to be the case, I wonder how many clicks they got on their phantom livestream page.

[–]igiverealygoodadvice 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is interesting because it isn't hosted on their website, so it seems like an honest "mistake" and not an attempt to get clicks/traffic

[–]HaggitheSecond 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Elon tweeted that he would make an announcment today - I doubt that he'd officially announce that if it were to be released to an secretive event.

[–]RealParity 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess it will be just the news website reporting "live" on the announcement, not streaming of some actual event.

[–]rmdean10 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So in place of Red Dragon for 2018 they do a slingshot around the moon with the same hardware instead?

Did it start yet? I still see waiting for event to start.

[–]DarwiTeg 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (6子コメント)

The livestream is nothing . This is a conference call from spaceX with reporters. Media will report what is said probably as it happens in bullet points and then provide a full summary afterwards.

[–]thomasg86 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do we know that for a fact though? Wouldn't a media member be able to tweet real quickly that this were the case?

[–]johnkphotosAmericaSpace.com Photographer 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Source?

[–]DarwiTeg -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Just my interpretation of the situation.

[–]johnkphotosAmericaSpace.com Photographer 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well you sure made it sound pretty definitive! I'm pretty sure I'd have heard about it if it was a call to media.

[–]TheEndeavour2Mars 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why did SpaceX decide against a Youtube stream of this announcement? It is not like Google charges them to stream.

[–]Psychonaut0421 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I find it peculiar, too.. I'm not even sure this Live Stream is something official from SpaceX to USA Today.

[–]termderdEveryday Astronaut 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's still a lot of labor involved in their live streams and hiring out a production crew to do so. It wouldn't be very Elon like to just hold a phone and call it good enough.

[–]assasin172 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Direct link to stream: https://livestream.com/accounts/16944724/events/7071172 nothing happening so far... Well did he mean 1pm pst martian time?

Edit: Redit stream: https://www.reddit-stream.com/comments/5wijy9/

[–]garthreddit 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Funny that I keep getting PayPal ads while waiting for this to start.

[–]flightward 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why USA Today? Have they done that in the past?

[–]Rickeh1997 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I doubt this 'livestream' is anything official. They probably just used it for a countdown.

[–]Cobblest0ne 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It seems like you need to pay 42$/month to sign up. Doubt this is just a placeholer

[–]johnkphotosAmericaSpace.com Photographer 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Just as with September's ITS reveal, Elon will probably be just a little bit too fashionably late.

[–]janbalti 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

how late was he then?

[–]johnkphotosAmericaSpace.com Photographer 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Maybe a half hour? Can't remember. There were lots of people in the hall.

[–]janbalti 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

ok damn but could they at least start the live stream that would be some satisfaction

[–]dguisinger01 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Was he late in September? I thought that was a pretty tight schedule organized by the conference. Unless you are talking about it being a year late :P

[–]dreyrden#IAC2016 Attendee 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was definitely late. We were only let into the auditorium when the session was due to start. A lot of people had to leave because they were hosting/presenting in the next session.

[–]dmy30 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wasn't he late because his plane was having issues? Can't remember.

[–]dguisinger01 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't recall; I know he's always late... and i remember everyone rushed in and had to sit down quickly, but I thought he started pretty much on time and they had to end at a specific time as well

[–]ThatRoboticsGuy 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Everyone seems to forget that he operates in Elon time.

[–]chargerag 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Always late. We fall for it every time just like Charlie Brown and the football.

[–]jw5601 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Someday we will kick that football, though.

[–]CaptainFalcon9 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good grief, you're right.

[–]RealParity 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Does anyone really expect to see Elon at the stream posted here? I guess it will be just the news website reporting on the announcement.

[–]petem8 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Any chance the USA Today 'livestream' is just a placeholder and they were expecting to get it from elsewhere?

[–]GaynalPleasures 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's been some speculation that members of the press are in a conference call, so that might mean that we see articles start popping across the web up as soon as it's over. The livestream could be a facade.

[–]TMahlmanLaunch Photographer 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (10子コメント)

Apparently it's about the moon!

[–]oliversl 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Wow, thats really interesting, Moon Dragon? Or maybe the Red Dragon is now Moon Dragon.

[–]recchiap 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Moon Dragon sounds like an amazing Norse god

[–]OSUfan88 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Forget the Red Dragon. Bring on the Cheese Dragon!

[–]username_lookup_fail 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Light Gray Dragon? Cheese Dragon?

[–]DerpyFish2 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Where does he get that info?

[–]FutureMartian97 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Noooo. No space suits...

[–]jw5601 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can't go to the moon without spacesuits though

We don't know that yet.

[–]SharpKeyCard 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean, technically we've known they have a customer slated for the moon, so eventually they are at least once.

Is that official, or just something USA Today created to get clicks?
