Riskier than selling a 3rd division football club this one...

Fascinating stuff, off to find a live stream.

Wow. I can’t believe how tense that was. Even emotional. How clever mankind is. Pity we can’t eradicate how stupid we can be too.

He is. Went to prison for kidnapping and armed robbery. Also was caught stealing jokes in his standup from Seinfeld. I never knew he was a comedian until recently but do remember him from an episode or two of Law & Order.

I actually find a nugget of truth in his joke.

Reckon we'll see a manned mission to Mars in the next thirty or so years? There are a lot of missions planned and Elon Musk's is the most fascinating. Will we see a man on Mars in our lifetime?
