Falcon 9

Eagles (1) vs Falcons (6) This might be the most intriguing matchup in the set of games. The Eagles were the highest seed in the NFC this year, but they are the underdog in this game as star quarterback Carson Wentz tore his ACL and is out for the season. With that, the Eagles have turned to career backup Nick Foles, who has had an ugly season since Wentz was injured. But, the Eagles have one of the top defenses in the league and a very solid running game. On the other hand, the Falcons are…

about Air Force One compared to Falcon 9. After the President introduces everyone, he starts to shift his tone, “Few people -- present company excluded -- can claim the expertise of Buzz and Bill and Charlie when it comes to space exploration. I have to say that few people are as singularly unimpressed by Air Force One as those three. (Laughter.) Sure, it’s comfortable, but it can’t even reach low Earth orbit. And that obviously is in striking contrast to the Falcon 9 rocket we just saw on the…

capable of carrying twice the payload of the massive Delta IV Heavy rocket built by the United Launch Alliance, and will be the most powerful American rocket since NASA's famed Saturn V moon rocket. The Falcon Heavy is designed to be reusable, with its boosters flying back to Earth much like SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stages. (Malik 1) The launch occurred in January and it was a partial success for the Roadster was launched into orbit. And the hope was the Roadster would remain in Mar’s orbit for…

out a rocket every two to three weeks? SpaceX wants to launch a rocket every two to three weeks despite last year’s launch pad explosion. With high confidence, SpaceX is looking at a tight operational schedule and aims to pick up the pace of its Falcon 9 launches. With a two to three week schedule, SpaceX would need to rely on a new launch pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The original one at Cape Canaveral is still under construction after last year’s dramatic explosion.…

was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9. The 2nd Qtr we had a little more action. Freshman Jordan Lewis began to find his rhythm as he…

In a recent town hall meeting in Jacksonville, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in regards to a possible playoff expansion "It likely will happen at some point, but we want to be really cautious because we really like the balance we have with the importance of the regular season and the postseason and you don't want to mess with that balance. You have to be really careful and cautious." (Via Jaguars.com) I for one am not a proponent of playoff expansion in the NFL. The old phrase “If it…

Mars for the first time in history. You hear “10...9...8...7” from the launch control. You can't believe after all these years it's finally happening, everyone has been waiting for it to happen. “5...4...3...2...” The last second before the rocket launches “1.” In that split second you thought the future of space travel could change, but now you see the rocket explode into a fiery blaze. On september 1st, 2016 a SpaceX test rocket named Falcon 9 exploded from a miscalculation with the oxygen.…

new technology appropriately called the Falcon series. These new rocket are the most powerful and well crafted vehicles of space,passing over the might of the Saturn V from NASA. Not only does is have new engine and thrusters for a nice ride it’s cheap. “In March 2017, SpaceX saw the successful test flight and landing of a Falcon 9 rocket made from reusable parts, a development that opened the door for more affordable space travel”(Musk). The new Falcon Heavy is worth around 90 million dollars…

to deal with the radiation on Mars. NASA is also building the Space Launch system, which is supposed to carry 130 metric tons, and is scheduled to launch for the first time in 2018. SpaceX is also on the race for Mars. They recently launched their Falcon 9 rocket, which brought many satellites into orbit that Elon Musk hopes will fund SpaceX’s Mars missions. Unlike NASA, Elon Musk believes that humans can get to Mars as soon as…

Saturn V, but it is no longer produced and the newer model, the Falcon 9 Heavy. The Falcon 9 Heavy was designed to one day perform crewed mission to Mars. Unlike the Saturn V, the Falcon 9 Heavy does not support as great of a payload but the cost of producing it rivals the Saturn V and it is the most powerful rocket to date in production. Assuming that the Falcon 9 Heavy was built to replace Saturn V but to be more cost efficient, the Falcon should be able to hold a crew of 3 people, whis…
