Cousin Dave: 48 times is a lot of times, isn't it? Isn't that pretty cool?

"...Isn't that pretty cool?"
For some reason, that reminded me of Blofeld's secret lair in You Only Live Twice.

Crid, it's awesome. I'm still amazed that they made that work -- it seems so Bugs-Bunnyish for some reason. I've seen some old drawings that someone had, back in the 1960s, to fly Saturn first stages back to the Cape under a Rogallo wing. At the time, it wasn't worth the effort because the engines (which was where most of the cost was) weren't reusable.

Ethiopian is one of the few airlines that still gives names to its airplanes. Check out what they just named this new 787.

Yeah, it seems notable that none of them have been reported as failed upon reuse. Presumbly: If it meets the spec, it meets the spec.

Might as well paint a big bullseye on that plane.

Did you know that Iranian military leaders are like anti-Putin demonstrators?
Bernie edumacates stoopid Americans.

If he thinks the US killing an Iranian general is the same as Russia killing dissident citizens then does Bernie think Iran is a part of the US?
The Soleimani assassination has a lot of people taking really weird positions.
