An Aussie mate is working for Electron Rocket Lab in Auckland [https://www.rocketlabusa.com/electron/](https://www.rocketlabusa.com/electron/) He’s flying out to Chatham Island on Thursday to help set up a launch. ![image](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/6b55d7998e388b2fb070883ea5fdfe37f6c3be5a.jpeg) ---

Hmm. Would like to see the footage of stage one landing. Cut out right before, and then we’re treated to a fully landed rocket. Looked a bit dodge. Not sure if they’ve worked that part out. ---

Fair play to Elon Musk - the bloke might be unhinged but I love his vision and the fact he manages to deliver against it I also love his lament that the greatest minds of his generation are selling advertising ---

Once upon a time I was at an annual sales meeting at Corporate in Rhode Island. I made a “Ted Talk” about getting incremental revenue & ended with a dig at marketing saying " come on guys this isn’t Rocket Science. The bitch who ran it responded yes it is it is far too complex to implement. At which point my Russian Boss stepped in with "Actually I can confirm Philip IS correct. It is NOT Rocket Science. I know this because my PhD is in Rocket Science & I have launched 4 Spaceships. Ah magic moments putting down MBAiots. Mentioned because Mrs P\_F asked a dumb question at launch & I replied with “you wouldn’t understand its Rocket Science” I got a slap tonight & Salesman of the year Europe in Rhode Island. ---

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So they opened the hatch the world watches & the Endeavour pilot hurtles out of control, whacks his head & is now bleeding live on global tv ![20200531_192541](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/c235e51b5d0a745c6a6ad33897a130bb6723174b.jpeg) ---

Apparently the barge that the booster landed on is called “Of Course I Still Love You” Elon Musk is obviously an Ian M Bainks fan… ---

It would appear I wasn’t drunk/bonkers Saturday night. Was sitting watching the launch & a white triangular shape came in really quick on the right side of the screen (like I’d imagine & later saw satellites doing). But it stopped. So I wasnt the only one > **[People Think They've Spotted UFOs On The SpaceX Live Stream](https://www.ladbible.com/news/news-people-think-theyve-spotted-ufos-on-the-spacex-live-stream-20200531)** > > "Did anyone see those flashing lights as the dragon separated from the module out in space?" ---
