This is something I want as well, deeply.

That’s so cool - thanks for sharing.

I think demand will go up across the weight spectrum, up to the point where orbital manufacturing starts making the least efficient sizes obsolete. Cheap tickets like Rocket Labs flying regular will provide mountains of cheap R&D for followup payloads on Falcons, New Glenns, BFRs, etc. With less risk, lower transport…

I dispute the idea that there is a declining need for heavy rockets; the reality is that there is a desperate need for heavy-lift projects to be approved which would require heavy rockets.

A tiny portion of my dad’s ashes up in space now, thanks to today’s launch. Space was a lifelong fascination/dream/goal of his and, while he obviously has no idea he finally made it, I’m feeling surprisingly and deeply moved by the thought of my dad as stardust.

5th record: They think the fairing landed softly enough in the ocean to be reused. 

I keep on waiting for it, it seems to never happen.  :)  Because either way, its a heck of a show. 

All the old cover art for Sci-Fi novels from 60 or 70 years ago with the rockets landing on their tails... and now it’s actually happening! So cool.

Except he did. His defence was a point of law, not a point of fact.

Loose ends mostly.

Last time I checked, the politicians didn’t “look away;” Trump asked Assange to dig up dirt on Clinton, to which Assange happily obliged and interfered with ourelection.

It’s all rather been superseded by now, since everyone can agree that he’s a rapist and that’s by far the worst thing about him.

Why are they going after him? After all he did his job to get Trump elected! He’s been a major part of the Russo-Republican agenda.

Nearly everyone I know, left or right, thinks he’s garbage for the same reasons: he’s admitted raping several women, argued that what he did was a special kind of rape that isn’t illegal, and then gone on the run when that was laughed out of court.

This guy is one of the few people on this planet that can unite this country. Nearly everyone I know, left or right, thinks he is garbage (for different reasons).

Julian! You got your Internet access back!?

“Isn’t filing charges against him secretly and trying to lure him into extradition proceedings basically confirming Assange’s seemingly paranoid beliefs?”

Assangeists are really laughable. You can’t smear someone who’s confessed in open court to being a serial rapist.

The US will have to wait its turn. When Ecuador kicks him out he’s going to face several long jail sentences - first for the rape spree, then the flight from justice. 

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.
