It's been done and so far with no problems. Footage of the daring stunt showed a billionaire popping out of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule on a tether as he came face-to-face with the dark vacuum of space. Tech billionaire Jared Isaacman became the first-ever civilian to start a space walk on Thursday — after already travelling the farthest from Earth a human being has gone since the Apollo moon missions. |

Another milestone for SpaceX has been made. Space X successfully catches Falcon Superheavy rocket booster in ‘Mechagodzilla claws’. SpaceX made an incredible advancement in capability when it launched its Starship rocket — and then managed to catch the Super Heavy booster in the “Mechagodzilla” claws on the launch pad on Sunday. Cheers. |

The most incredible thing concerning rockets I've ever seen. You can't maneuver a rocket stage weighing many hundreds of tons like that. You just can't do that. Mind blowing... |

Hey! That is still a tremendous achievement!!! And a very rapidly on-going developing! Have you just seen the close-ups of the catch of the big booster?!... Incredible!!!! Note: Bigger than the Saturn 5. With a very big cluster of engines that the Russian N-1 never managed to survive... Fantastic stuff! Meanwhile, some of the media are lost in their dull uncomprehending stupidity and trash gossip. Anything for dumb sensationalism over educated journalism? And, for an even bigger "Wow!", FAA depending... Next launch attempt is next month... Now... Decades later... Where is that SLS?... Or anything else comparable? Keep searchin'!

He risked a considerable portion of his personal, movable assets, a true gambler. For what? To divert money from delayed, ultra-expensive, unsuccessful SLS resp. Artemis program for a more promising Mars program... his program. As a collateral damage, he destroyed the commercial success of the proud |
