Ya gotta wonder if Elon Musk has got his version of a bat cave somewhere with tons of cool shit no one knows about.

I would assume at least an escape pod type rocket hidden full of supplies so that he can jump ship if the apocalypse comes.

B-e-a-utiful.

Here's the Falcon Heavy plan for January

Great video. Watched live and looks like they're trying to add different shots and angles each launch. Pretty amazing to look at the smoke trail and see that the booster is not flying straight retrograde -- it's diagonal there most of the way down. Still blows my mind this is even possible, much less reliably. Cool stuff!

Cool footage from the launch/recovery the other day. This was a used Falcon rocket and a used Dragon capsule.

Of course it is. The entire financial market is just a quoting system. Why is a share of JNJ worth $130? Because someone will pay that. There is nothing sinister about that. There is no conspiracy.

Is the true market clearing price of oil $35 a barrel? Maybe. Is it $10? Fuck no

Depends on your view of things. I personally have no use for people getting rich off the backs of others for doing jack shit. Unfortunately, when other countries and economies of scale are involved there will always be over regulation and middlemen involved to jack up costs. At the end of the day they contribute and add about as much real value as tits on a bull.
