klasickej vesmirnej vytah je na zemi totalni nesmysl tak jako tak :)

ale orbital ring a z nej vytah uz je jina kava... a narozdil od vytahu ring se da postavit uz ted :)

PES: jenom pokud Musk slibi, ze to vsechno bude za 2 roky.

SEJDA: Další metou je Orbitální výtah ( + Prstencové město) a další pak antigravitace! ;-)))

XCHAOS: celou dobu pracovali na tom, aby mohly odstartovat 3 F9 v jeden den, a aby jeden booster F9 mohl startovat kazdych 30 dni.
A krome toho, vyvinuli nejvetsi raketu sveta, ktera, pokud vsechno pujde hladce, uz brzy prevezme oteze a posune cenu letu kamkoli zase o rad dolu.
Na cybermenach pracoval nevim kdo.

KOUDY:
SEJDA: hele pokud jeden z vás z tý knížky čerpá tak ok, ale nestačilo by se podívat, co o tomhle období píše Eric Berger v tom Liftoff?

ušetříte sobě i nám dost času

KOUDY: lidi z kremikoveho udoli ale nebyli v te dobe, kdy SpaceX vznikala, ti lidi, kteri by mohli mit zakazky pro SpaceX. A ti lidi, kteri kontrolovali zakazky, chteli Boeing a ULA a ne nymanda z udoli. Dnes uz je situace jina, ale i tak, ma pro lidi z udoli SpaceX starty 2-4 (ze 100) za rok a rikaji jim "transporter", a to se na ty starty "sklada" v podstate cely svet.

SEJDA: Tak kdyz mi 5x napises ze Musk SpaceX nezalozil, coz neni pravda, nebo ze se mu zamestnanci smeji a nevazi si ho..coz neni pravda..spis naopak..Tak co mam delat? Posilat ti tu clanky z googlu nebo z wikipedie nebo youtube? To si prece muzes dohledat sam. Doporucuju ti treba zacit investovat do akcii Tesly. To te donuti cist ucetni uzaverky a mesic tu firmu poradne studovat nez do ni vlozis treba milion svejch korun jako investici.
SEJDA: Jasne ze mel. Vzdyt v te dobe znal diky paypalu uz pulku enterpreteursky smetanky ze silicon valley. Proto taky plno jeho kamosu investovalo do Teslu a diky nim Tesla prezila.

He spent a third of his reported fortune, $100 million, to get SpaceX going. There was skepticism that he would be successful, which persisted into SpaceX's first years.

After spending 18 months toiling privately on a spacecraft, SpaceX unveiled the craft in 2006 under the name Dragon. Musk reportedly named the spacecraft after "Puff, the Magic Dragon," a 1960s song from the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. He said he chose the name because critics believed his spaceflight aims were impossible.

KOUDY: Kdybys mne nesoudil i bych ti dal palec nahoru. K cemu nam jsou urazky? Jakoze mi 100x napises "myslis si blbosti", tak ja si zacnu myslet neco jineho? :D
Ja Muellorovi verim, ze v Muskovi videl inteligentniho, rovnoceneho partnera. Ale vsimni si, ze ho chvali za rizeni tymu. A taky strukturach, cemu nerozumim ja vubec. Az casem mu priznava znalost motoru, a to je rec o Merlinu, ktery uz leta 20 let a o Raptoru na kterem uz 10 let pracuji. Vubec nepochubuji o tom, ze Musk je schopny se rychle dostat do toho co je noveho a pomahat tymum. To kazdy mohl videt i pri prochazkach po Starbase.

SEJDA: Ne nepotreboval. Mel dost penez ze paypalu.

SpaceX was founded by Musk, a South African-born businessman and entrepreneur. At age 30, Musk made his initial fortune by selling his two successful companies: Zip2, which he sold for $307 million in 1999, and PayPal, which eBay purchased for $1.5 billion in 2002, The New York Times reported. Musk decided his next major venture would be a privately funded space company.

Initially, Musk had the idea of sending a greenhouse, dubbed the Mars Oasis, to the Red Planet. His goal was to drum up public interest in exploration while also providing a science base on Mars. But the cost ended up being too high, and instead, Musk started a spaceflight company called Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, now based in the Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne, California.

KOUDY: potreboval 5 cofounderu a investoru, proto jinak by SpaceX nemohla vypadat solventne. Musely to byt jmena z Bussiness, protoze Musk byl nymand.

SEJDA: ja chapu tvoji neznalost, ale Musk mel dost penez z prodeje Paypalu a proto si mohl dovolit tu firmu zalozit sam a nepotreboval na zacatku pet cofounderu ani investoru.

Once PayPal’s executives went to Vegas to celebrate the company’s success, Elon Musk was reading some obscure Soviet rocket manual that was all moldy and looked like it had been bought on Ebay (not the above image, it is just a random picture from Google for a dramatic effect). He often talked about space travel and changing the world. Elon Musk wanted to inspire the masses and reinvigorate their passion for science, conquest, and the promise of technology. His fears that mankind had lost much of its will to push the boundaries were reinforced one day when Musk went to NASA website, and found out no serious interest in investigating Mars at all. Elon Musk built up a decent network of contacts in the space industry, and brought the best of them together at conferences. Earlier discussions involved sending mice, or plants into space. Later Musk went to Russia to buy 3 ICBMs that could be retooled to go to space. But the Russians did not take him seriously (one of them spit at Elon Musk, thinking that he was disrespecting them). Russians were the only ones who could provide Musk with rockets at his budget. Later Musk thought that they could build the rocket themselves. He picked Los Angeles with intent because it gave him access to the space industry. Southern California’s mild, consistent weather had made it a favored city of aeronautics industry since the 1920s. According to his calculations, he could undercut existing launch companies by building a modest-sized rocket that would cater to a part of the market that specialized in carrying smaller satellites and research payloads to space. Musk had spent months studying the aerospace industry and the physics behind it.
