  1. he did a little too much LDS in the 60's... on Breakthough Makes Transparent Aluminum Affordable · · Score: 3, Insightful

    holy crap, you're picking at the pointlessness of putting windows in the tanks?!
    You don't have a problem believing mankind being embarrassed when SPACE WHALES drop by to check in on their far distant relatives?!

  6. like CORONA, in The Road Warrior on Longer Video Shows How Incredibly Close Falcon Stage Came To Successful Landing · · Score: 1

    I was going to suggest a tower with a grapple just tall enough to hold the returning stage suspended.
    But recent events have convinced me that snagging it out of the air with a giant auto-gyro and flying it back would be the most awesome solution.

    Unfortunately, the nearest volcanoes are in the Caribbean. Although operating from St. Kitts might help with recruiting.

  7. Elon's King of Swamp Castle on Longer Video Shows How Incredibly Close Falcon Stage Came To Successful Landing · · Score: 2

    When I first came here, this was all swamp.
    Everyone said I was daft to land a rocket on a barge, but I built in all the same, just to show them.
    It sank into the ocean.
    So I built a second one.
    And that one sank into the ocean.
    So I built a third.
    That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the ocean.
    But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest rocket in all of aerospace.

    Canadian girlfriend, don't spy on me
    Canadian girlfriend, mama let me be

  15. sounds made up even when you're 14 on The DEA Disinformation Campaign To Hide Surveillance Techniques · · Score: 1

    "Canadian Girlfriend" -- on of Grand Funk's less successful songs.

    You can't seriously propose that companies pay money into employee pensions as they contractually agreed to, now can you?
    What are you, some sort of caveman from the 20th century?

    We're much more enlightened and self-reliant here in the 21st century. Employees are responsible for taking their own money and invest in the only game in town.
    The fact that the game is designed to be rigged six ways from Sunday is beside the matter.
