I made sure I was watching this this morning. So awesome.
FYI, the first stage touch down on a barge was 100% successful and happens about 9 minutes into the launch. Usually, there is a signal loss to the transmission due to technical issues, but this time there wasn't.
The link is currently in replay mode, but it usually switches over to regular video mode later.

The Joe Rogan conversation was fantastic, funny, and scary! Very interesting to have confirmation that this sort of manipulation exists. I’m leaning more and more towards defunding academia in recent years, and with the pandemic as a backdrop even see the traditional college system as it exists unnecessary. Still need to check out the other two links.

I love Dave Chappelle, but this latest video of his was a little odd and seemed to miss the mark (of funniness) somewhat. That's my only criticism. I think if you're a comedian and want to create a bit about current events, then it HAS to be funny or it's just going to be viewed as more political ramblings from entitled celebrities.
Here's a critique...

Thanks! I love that  , it's the era I grew up in. Terry O'Reilly on the Bruins was the best. The Whalers had Stu "The Grim Reaper" Grimson so you know I loved him. And the Bruins had one of the last real enforcers in Shawn Thorton (and Milan Lucic if you count him). It may sound like bull but letting them fight does actually avoid other problems. It really is worse if you don't let them fight, if they can't let off steam. |

I don't know what I'm talking about, but it seems like the enforcer system arose because it was really easy to hurt people on the ice by purposely playing too aggressively. I may find that book and read it just cause I'm so clueless about hockey and the book seems really interesting. |

I may find that book and read it just cause I'm so clueless about hockey and the book seems really interesting. It definitely was a different era. The goons were so ingrained in the sport that only some rules changes in 2005 could get rid of them. There are no pure enforcers left but the Bruins do have one of the better fighters, Adam McQuaid  For those of you who aren't hockey fans, here's the best fight ever  Terry O'Reilly goes in first, and then watch the top left, Mike Milbury (future Bruins coach) takes off a guy's shoe and beats him with it. |

Oh yeah, the only way they could do it was to change the rules. Wikipedia: "The role of the enforcer has diminished since rule enforcement changed following the 2004–05 NHL lockout to increase game speed and scoring. With a decrease in fighting, teams are less inclined to keep a roster spot available for a one-dimensional fighter who is a liability as a scorer and defender. This has led to a decrease in the number of players whose predominant role is enforcer." |
