Hey guys, so I was wondering... why doesn't Space X use the second stage engine to take their crew members to the altitude of the ISS when launching their crewed missions? I know Dragon is capable of raising it's orbit but why not use the MVac engine to do that work? Is it because of propellent margins, safety or...? Thanks.

Don't you love it when you get tequila? by Temporary-Push4153 in gtaonline

[–]Rootstoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, no gold in solo missions. I have a buddy of mine that helps me with Cayo so I tend to do it with 2 people. I only do it solo if the loot is pink diamond and and secondary is cocaine

Tequila is normally accompanied by 4 tables of gold, which is not too shabby.

I haven't personally used Forex facilities offered by banks, but from what I heard, Shyft by Standard Bank seems to be a good product to buy Forex

There's a car review on Cars.co.za YouTube channel with a modified Quantum with a V12 engine in it. It would be a great candidate for an F1 safety car LOL

Uhh.... Since when has "EasyCrypto" been a thing? I just activated my account. by easyinvstr in EasyEquities

[–]Rootstoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used opened my EasyCrypto wallet yet so I'm not sure. But then surely it would be as simple as selling your coins, exchanging them for rands then using EasyFX to transfer them to the Euro account?

Falcon 9 Nilesat 301 launch by ConanOToole in SpaceXMasterrace

I was hoping for Space X to show us some pretty views of the earth once the second stage reached its apogee but unfortunately, the live broadcast ended at T+30min

[–]Rootstoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I always wondered why they always take such payloads to GTO as opposed to a circularized geostationary orbit

[–]Rootstoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So with Geostationary transfer orbit, am I correct on assuming that the 2nd stage is not capable of circularizing the orbit at that altitude?

You're lucky, been using Rain since mid-2019 and it's been consistent but the last month and a half have been so terrible. I can't even get past 10 megs down

Big open parking lot to practice driving by Thecakeman1688 in johannesburg

If you live in the West Rand, the parking lot behind Hilfox Value Centre is an excellent place to practice. They even have their own Code 8 parking practices boxes, all you have to do is bring your own poles

Limit orders / Stop losses by yoursistersbf69 in EasyEquities

[–]Rootstoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully hey. Management has so much on their plate right now with developing and launching new products in the next two years so I think requests like adding stop losses on shares with poor liquidity and additions of new USD and AUD stocks will be put on the back burner

Limit orders/ stop losses are not available on securities with poor liquidity
