Well, if it were me I'd be wanting to know who engineered that thing. Also one reason I chose Hogs over being an astronaut

Probably the same people who engineered all these.

One thing about those attempts that seems funny to me is that they all end in an actual Hollywood style explosion. The movies love to portray any little impact as resulting in a big explosion but typically that’s not reality. Apparently with these rockets it is though. I guess that just shows how many different pieces of equipment are involved with a wide variety of sensitive combinations of explosives and combustable materials.

Never gets old. And I just noticed that on the first successful drone ship landing, the leg on the right deploys much later than the other two.

I suspect rocket fuel is a tad more explosive than your average E85 we put in our cars. A car explosion is very rare, but that would be boring on screen, so Hollywood juices it up a bit.

Yep. And the explosion yesterday was liquid methane. Big boom.

So, let's be honest. Watching a rocket blast off is about as entertaining as watching water drip from a faucet. We ALL watch hoping deep down inside that suckers gonna explode and of course nobody gets hurt.
See, yesterday was just what we needed. Big Boom and nobody hurt.

Shouldn't those astronauts chairs be 6 feet apart??

Probably better call ahead to see if ISS is dine-in or drive thru, too
