    All jest aside, SpaceX got the job done in a very workman like routine manner. How very business as usual of them.

    Like the LOX, it's supercooled to make it denser.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Ps. I just wish they could get the transmission problems that always exist at the moment of landing on the drone ship fixed.
    That basically has to do with the rockets causing so much shaking of the equipment on the landing barge that the directional antennas can't maintain contact. I think Everyday Astronaut did a video on it awhile back.

    FWIW, SpaceX has usually shot footage of landings from a distance, but it's not broadcasted live. This footage usually shows up in some of their later released videos.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    LOL.

    Thing is, SpaceX has shown videos of their failures.

    In fact, so far as I know, they're the only aerospace firm with a highlight reel of their biggest kabooms! posted to their corporate Youtube page.

    Was really cool to watch. A great distraction from all the bullshit.

    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    I know you were joking, and it was funny.

    I just felt the need to explain the why because, well, what else am I going to do with that knowledge just rattling around in my brain?
