It's great news; everything has appeared to have gone well. The eternal optimist in me hopes this is the beginning of a new era in human space flight!

That's a rocket crashing on a small platform floating in the middle of the ocean after being lauched almost into space.

The only thing it didn't do was land on it's feet.

Fuckin ehh man, for a first attempt, holy shit that's awesome.

I love SpaceX dude.

I'd put on a pair of antennas and rub my hands together greedily.

I find the article ridiculous.

No, and their article is the right way to talk about it. They explain facts and why the word "alien" came to be said in all this. The title isn't clickbait garbage, it actually sums up the situation quite well.

I got to watch that live, which was fairly random. Post supe was like "hey, are you into space stuff?" and I was like "'am I into space stuff,' pft, can a vacuum cleaner run on 14 amps?", and he was like "cool."

Then we watched it.

This is the best story ever told.
