Inspiring stuff. It never gets old watching them launch.

The moon landing was fake.

I suppose they don't HAVE to land the first stage on a barge. It's more like "look what I can do..."


Well done

If they can land it on a barge in the ocean then they can land it anywhere. Be it asteroid, remote island, or mega yacht. I'm sure SpaceX is always looking for future customers.

Landing the launch vehicle the way SpaceX does is a dick slap to the face of China, India, Russia, and everyone else who can't accomplish it themselves.

The moon landing was real. Pamela Anderson's chest is fake. Yet, I can live with that.

Ahh ... A piece of random news. I think I will watch it again...

@1:07, just goes to show you that SpaceX does a better job protecting it intellectual property better than the USG.

My one question is , why did they transport the astronauts from their prep area to the rocket ship in matching Tesla vehicles with nasa painted on the side. Why are $100,000.00 vehicles needed when a Jeep would have done that same job?

@2:18
Marketing. Elon Musk is using the successes of SpaceX to boost the image of the failing Tesla Motors that he also owns. He did the same thing when he launchef his Tesla Roadster into space when they trsted the Falc0n Heavy launcher.

Both companies suck on the government tit for survival. At least Musk has provided an ROI on the taxpayer money beside endemic crime and breeding more government tit suckers.

I watched it live. It was a great relief to see it go off safely. A tragedy now would have set everything back for years.

2:18, surely your joking. Elon Musk controls both Tesla and SpaceX. It was a marketing tie-in. Don't you remember Mr. Musk launching his personal Tesla Roadster into space a few years ago to prove he could do it?

Elon Musk is my hero. But, he gave a Sh#tty name to his kid.
Poor Kid. I feel sorry for him because my name is I. Seemore Butts. I would break out in a sweat every time my name was called.
Elon named the child X AE A-Xii
Girlfriend nicknamed him Little X

NO LIE.

"Why are $100,000.00 vehicles needed when a Jeep would have done that same job?" Same sorta question I ask myself when I see Mercedes and Jags going through the drive through like I do in my little beat to shit Ranger. We all got there, they have the means and desire to do, or so I'm guessing. Happy for them.

Lol, can anyone explain why the camera “cut out” when stage 1 landed?

5:09 I watched a video on it earlier. The drone ship that it lands on is beaming the video back by satellite. When the booster is landing it shakes it up enough that it loses signal. The video gets recorded but those few seconds of live broadcast do fail to broadcast and can't be seen until later.

So very true !

Such wonders only happen in capitalist societies.

The left have never been able to understand these simple economic facts.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
