SpaceX and other space stuff

A today-only heads-up, if you're near one of these places:

SWEET!

Oh...I think I made a funny.

Yeah, I'll stop now and just thank you for the heads up.

And while we're waiting for the lander, some light reading to brighten your day...

Harvard scientists have a new take on what wiped out the dinosaurs

The kind of comet that killed T. rex and friends from our planet might be more common than previously thought.

Glad I installed this meter in our home before the landing. Current reading:

Pre-landing beers are authorized at this time.

It's really almost a binary situation, isn't it?

Clean feed(s), with mission audio only. The channels are not stereo-mixed, so you're going to get L/R crosstalk from time to time. Do not adjust your computers.

Ah, I see you installed one of my PF (Pucker Factor) meters in your home, too LOL.

I like the way you work, sir.

Thank you!

Thanks for those. Prefer them over the public stuff on TV.

LMAO at the "This is fine" meme dog on somebody's desk!

Sure thing. JPL was ahead of NASA by about 2-3 minutes initially, but NASA's feed seems to have caught up close enough that I closed one of the windows. Bottom line, they're both the same thing. I expect NASA's is going through a few more layers.

EDIT: Ok, the difference seems to be about 15 seconds now. JPL's audio is quieter, but more consistent. I may switch back to that one.

I got some extra underroos on standby. I feel some binky clenchin' anxiety coming up shortly.

The message...the large googly eyes of the cute stuffed animal...I'm better now. Thanks, man.

Hope I stay that way thru the last 7 minutes of anal clenching hell!! I need a beer...

And so it begins.

Cruise stage seperation.

NOW we need your PF meter animation, @Winslow LOL

 

[SBassman]

This is awesome.
