I bet it eventually has a head on collision with something, a meteor ,planet or gets sucked into a black hole. They should have put a bottle of Jack daniels in the drivers hand so they know how we rock here on Earth and can claim the first drunk driver accident in space.

You can now.

That was my guess as well. I bet "Big Falcon Rocket" is only what they call it publicly.

Yup.

I didn't "make" them, but it didn't take much talk them into an extended SpaceX break..

I have seen that image of elon numerous times but never knew where it came from.

A coworker tipped me off to a great YouTube channel about space exploration concepts and logistics based in current and not-too-far-away technologies that I've been devouring lately. This video is about Mars specifically, but he's got a ton of other great stuff too:

Dude is smart as hell and can't pronounce "R".

haha. :D

My cousin has that same speech impediment and its maddening.

That's an Atlas rocket from 2010. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory I believe.

Here's another cool shot of it (at 1:40ish):

Pretty sure that's from an Atlas V launch a few years ago. (Still cool though!)
