I know you picked it because of the music video, but realistically Muse has way better songs for Space. Like Space Dementia, or Hoodoo.

Wasn't just hte clip, but well the other songs, that's like your opinion dude. It's not even my favourite anyway. 

This will be my song when I get blasted into space.

That's a good pick. I just chose my song because it's the opposite of the thread title : P

Nah, space travel is always fun, especially in China where we're constantly ramping up our space program.

Speaking of which, if you enjoy moon missions, Chang'e 4 will be performing humanities first landing on the far side of the moon in December this year; it'll also include a rover.

And then our Indian brothers are attempting their first Moon landing, on the near side, either next month or April.

Great progress since the regression of the US and USSR's lunar programs in the 70's.

While China and India are trying to land rovers on the moon, the US has moved on and has rovers on Mars today. Until a Chinese taikonaut or an Indian astronaut actually walks on the moon - then you haven't really been there.  Like I said, the US has been there and has moved on to bigger destinations.

Yeah. It was pretty exciting as the chinese entered. It got a bit more calmed, but I'm aware that the chinese program is constantly improving and getting things done. I hope Chang'e is a success, this will be another step. And while so far with the renewed energy for space travel in the last 20 years mostly we recaptured successes of the past (even the Falcon Heavy now only reestablishes heavy transporters, as the Saturn V and Energija did back then), we have some new achievements recently (with we I address humanity as a whole): the two mars rovers, the saturn probe Cassini and Philae achieving the first landing on a comet. Chang'e if successful will be another new achievement, with the dark side of the moon. By the way, Chang'e 3 with the successful moon landing and deployment of Yutu is the first time we got on the moon surface since Luna-24 in 1976. The Indian space program is another cool story, as they achieve a lot with a really tiny budget. We should also watch out for these Proton-rockets from Rocket Lab and Blue Origin. I meant all that with space travel is fun again, we have movement and for the first times since decades we can achieve new goals. This Falcon Heavy launch is another stepstone, such a transporter offers new opportunities. I hope a lot will happen in the near future.

But did it land in one piece :P on the pad on the ocean.

As I said earlier: the core crashed into the ocean at 500km/h and exploded.

What's fake?  The two side boosters landed no problem.  Only the center booster missed it's landing pad.

No big deal, as nobody but SpaceX HAS HAD any successful booster landing in the HISTORY of spaceflight.

That guy on youtube who told you otherwise.....is  a  freaking  douchebag....
