    I never realized how tone-deaf Bezos was until this whole thing. Did he really think him thanking Amazon works for making his space trip dreams come true was a good idea?

    He’s a fucking asshole. I’m so glad Branson (the Fun Billionaire) is getting praise and he’s getting the shaft. Bezos should be thanking himself for union-busting his company the last two decades, letting all money go to him instead of his workers.

    Really I wish they would build a space station like “Elysium” to keep pricks like that off our planet.

    That’s the one. So many have tried to either be as good as him or just rip off what he does, and they failed miserably. So glad he’s returning to TV.

    You East Texas and Southern California folks should have some nice viewing for the Perseid Meteor Shower late tonight. Enjoy! It's going to be cloudy where I am, so no joy.

    SpaceX just launched (8 hours ago) an ISS resupply mission. It's crazy that this is now so commonplace that nobody really notices any more.



    I did get a chuckle out of the 31:18 mark where they threw it back to the Houston control room and then someone proceeded to put the local feed up on the big screen... infinite delayed playback in the background.

    SpaceX getting ready to launch its first all civilian crew



    @Nettdata this stuff is so commonplace now that my wife and boys don’t even care. It was cool the first few times, now they only wanna know if something blows up.

    What... you don't go to NASCAR races with that big #3 shaved in your back hair without hoping for a wreck?

    That’s the only reason that sport exists. When put next to F-1 there’s no reason for it.

    Le Mans used to have balls too, back when you could kill twenty spectators with a single car and all they do is put up a caution flag until they sweep the entrails off the single rope used to protect people from the race.

    nascar became fun when they race on road tracks in the rain.

    Fun fact: nascar doesn’t have a wet weather tire. Slicks in the rain are hilarious.
