This really is quite impressive, and I’m a fan of Elon Musk and his exploits, most notably SpaceX, but this Gigafactory 1, as it were, raises questions that have been festering in the back of my brain the past few years.

Too soon, too soon.

And you will also never see an Air Force pilot cuss, they're selected to not cuss also...

Fully aerobatic includes inverted spins, innelmans, Cuban-8's, and outside loops, stuff you will NEVER see a Lancer perform.

It’s not first class, but poor peasants like me can’t tell the difference.

This totally sounds like a dare among NASA/SpaceX/insert-techy-narcissist-spaceflight-group-name-here interns to make a space themed 419 scam email. The details are too precise for anyone from a third world African nation to string together.

You, sir, win the internets.

Is there no sympathy for the missing and possibly dead??

You, sir, are a genius.

That seems like an eternity for a road warrior. I used to see how short I could make my stops, only relieving myself and buying minimal grub when I stopped for gas. I enjoyed the challenge of seeing how far I could go in a day’s driving. About 1,200 miles was my steady-rate comfort level for one day of well-rested…

Silly commenter, the RMS Titanic and the HMS Jeremy Clarkson sank over a century apart!

“Are you reading this article, or were you looking at the Woman in the Red Dress...?”

I don’t know your friend personally (actually there’s a not insignificantly minute chance I might), but from what I’ve seen/experienced, and from the guys I talk to on a daily basis, the grueling schedule of ‘being home’ is far worse on esprit de corps than being deployed.

Another outlet says that the rocket was launched ~35 minutes after Iran gave notice to the U.S. (unsure via what methods), and the trajectory was parallel to the ships’ course.

Your first two sentences are completely wrong and misinformed, at least for this interaction point (daylight at a busy airport in a country with a lot of international military movements). The rest of your post points to the most intriguing part of the article that even Tyler seemed to gloss over. The DoD wants it…

Not sure it you’ve been to Africa lately, but everyone you see walking out of the forest to see the hubbub of activity at any airport (dirt LZs included) has a smartphone of some type. As you travel toward the city centers, you realize that dirt huts are being used to sell everything from cell phone service to tv and…

Got one for my wife and I right after our honeymoon. She was a bit hesitant to ride, but rode pillion for a couple hundred miles, at most. Now, 17 months later, we’re expecting our first child, and I realistically don’t see her desiring to ride anytime in the next 10-15 years...

I went to an in-residence professional development TDY with one of their pilots. He was really a great guy, no fighter-pilot mocking intended. Every once in a while, he would drop his fighter pilot ego mask (he was able to do that because he was the only fighter pilot in our group) and talk about his wife and two…

No, they definitely won’t be putting that much fuel so far from the CG, when simply releasing their cargo could change their CG so much.

Not sure if you’re talking about the majority of the Gawker Media staff, or the dude-bros in this video...
