can they catch it?
>>110336228any insider?
>>110336250are you serious? people are gambling on rocket landings now?
>>110336262There is a market for everythinghttps://polymarket.com/event/how-long-will-trump-and-xi-shake-hands-at-apec
venting looks cool af >>110336266these people need to get a job
why is clear not live ;-:
>>110336262*sigh* it's not "gambling" it's predicting.Prediction markets are totally legal and definitely distinct from gambling.
>>110336262zooms zooms decided their vice was going to be gambling. kind of shit if you was me drugs are much nicer.
Can someone explain the "splashdown" to me, what are they trying to achieve?Is it supposed to not explode when it touches the water or were they always doing controlled explosions?
>>110336326like when i predict what horse is going to win the race, totally not gambling
>>110336339land the upper stage on the launch towerthey did this with the lower stage a bunch of times now they wanna land the upper stage after deploying the payload
>>110336339or if you mean the indian ocean splashdowns of previous flights they were supposed to get the upper stage to get to low altitude and hover a bit, basically a rehersal for what spacex is going to do a few minutes from now which is bring it to a hover and then fly into the tower
>>110336365>>110336377Yeah, I meant the upper stage (the part that carries the payload/passengers). I see, it makes sense now.
>>110336342thats different
>>110336391last flight was the first time they got the upper stage into orbitnow they got it into orbit and will try to land it back at base
>>110336312she's live! :D
>>110336399its a distinction without a difference since poly market allows you to "trade shares" or whatever nonsense they call it on sportsits clearly gambling designed in a way to be able to label it as not gambling to skirt lawsthe same way a loot box in a video game isn't gambling despite the fact it uses the same mechanics as a slot machine
>>110336228Yes
that was so fucking cool
How many years until a manned mission catch?
space x best x
>>11033659920-30, if there is will. probably more
>>110336599~10 years
insane
Kick ass, love seeing space tech making it's way forwards.I didn't know they leave the flip to such a late stage, that thing turned barely above the tower.
>>110336599good question, but the amount of fucking dig smashing they're doing to Yuropoor, Russian, and Chinese space operation is unreal. The cost/capacity to send something into orbit that they have is insane.
>>110336599long time, they aren't planning on that for the moon missions. instead they're doing this dumb shit
reminder that they're going to have several dozens of these operating 24/7 in just a few years
>>110336633the blue origin plan makes a great more sense, joining the three upper stages in orbit and using them as boosters to get the lander to the moon is far simpler
>>110336645Not years, weeks
>>110336342That's actually how the law is interpreted in some countries. You get a lot of roundabout gambling-not-gambling in things like... horse racing
>fable 5.2>first successful starship catchcoincidence? i think notthank you dario
>>110336756what the fuck is a fable
Elon won
>>110336762yhwh/claude
>>110336781Chesed to meet you.
>>110336781this is what google should have named their models
>>110336623Fakest shit I've ever seen, is welding harder than rocket science?
>>110336798Hard to pronounce, not marketable.
>>110336623beautiful
That narrator woman came SO HARD when the rocket landedhttps://files.catbox.moe/rmo8x4.mp4
>>110336262lmao you're shocked at this? there are bets on insane shit, like how many certain words a CEO will say at an earnings call, or how many times Trump will rise his right arm at a rally. An insider trader's wet dream
>>110336878Oh come on, these markets have like 10k$ total liquidity, do you really think someone tells Trump how many times to raise his hand in exchange for what is likely less than 10k$? (because there are other traders too)Politicians can make billions shorting or longing the stock market with 10x leverage if they know what will happen, that is where their real gains come from.
>>110336915>liquidityvolume. 10k$ total volume.
>>110336863I hate people saying incredible, unbelievable, I can't believe WHEN IT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED ARE YOU BLIND AND STUPID BIATCH ?
