SpaceX has successfully landed their Falcon 9 Rocket on a floating Drone Ship

great victory

Hey! Maybe our space-exploration possibilities aren’t completely hopeless. I mean, sure, it’s just going to be our Corporate OverLords leaving this Rock, to colonize space after they’re done strip mining this place. But it’ll feel good knowing some of us are out there…right?

good guy musk

Elon ‘STARK AIN’T GOT SHIT ON ME‘ Musk has confirmed what had been a sneaking suspicion by many. The motherfucker is getting into the micro-satellite, cheap internet game. Launch them satellites!
