CNN









(Nice to see a launch go well, and with a dramatic finish: "The mission ended with the spacecraft flipping to a vertical orientation and simulating a landing. It then toppled over into the waters of the Indian Ocean. A camera on a buoy that SpaceX had placed in the water there captured Starship’s final moments as the ship exploded. That is not a surprising fate when a structure as tall as a 17-story building that contains leftover methane fuel topples over. The Super Heavy booster similarly exploded in the Gulf of Mexico after its simulated landing. Each blast was anticipated by SpaceX’s flight planners."







if anything, the slightly cheesy and celebrity-heavy top floor of NMAAHC made me think of the whole thing as a bit too easily redemptive

The Crock Pot is one of the only times when real life works like video game crafting. You dump in some powders and the remains of several vile birds and out comes hot delicious food

I give you Robert Neville: perhaps the only literary character who could be convincingly played by Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, and Will Smith.
