I watched that piece last night. It was interesting. Marco Rubio wants to get to the bottom of it. That doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

It's funny, if you think about it. He doesn't believe in evolution, but he wants to investigate UFOs.

Maybe he's not an alien then, but interested in the probing stuff.

So aliens seem to exist (maybe it's foreign tech but we don't know) and no one seems to care?

UFO sightings could be hypersonic technology from Russian or China
Officials have definitively said UFO sightings are not a part of a secret U.S. government project ahead of a highly anticipated report on the unidentified aerial phenomena.

I read that one of the other guys like Branson or whatever wants to beat him into space now.

Challenger crew likely SURVIVED first seconds after explosion
The capsule that crew members Michael Smith, Francis (Dick) Scobee , Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe were in did not explode.
No fucking way. This guy just wants to sell books. I didn't see it live but in all the video I've seen that shit blew the fuck up.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
The capsule was intact when they found it. It is reasonable they could have survived until impact with the ocean if the had sufficient O2. But they may have suffocated on the way down. Still a better way to go than a fiery explosion.Challenger crew likely SURVIVED first seconds after explosion

There are billions of dollars to be made in government (and other) contracts, not to mention rich guy bragging rites, for being first. When you have that much money, Viagra doesn’t cut it anymore.I read that one of the other guys like Branson or whatever wants to beat him into space now.

Long before it was a tasteless Kurt Cobain joke, here in New England the joke was: How do you know Christa McAuliffe's eyes were blue? One blew this way and the other blew that way. /rimshotChallenger crew likely SURVIVED first seconds after explosion

ok so you all already know im weird so here we go...
ive been watching space shuttle launches and they make me feel good...not columbia (even though that one was on reentry) or challenger cause those are the bummers but the others are really cool.
videos like this:
basically super, future-looking planes attached to giant gas tanks that somehow wind up literally out of this world.
i saw a launch once. they were so big you could see it all the way from boca on a clear night. im positive i posted the pic in one of our photo contest threads but i cant find it.
i gotta watch that Apollo hbo series again.

Did you guys watch Branson a few days ago? Everyone at my place did, it was neat.
What Bezos is doing seems scarier though:

No real astronauts on board and it doesn't land like a plane. It lands like an Apollo mission with parachutes.

Focus: Bezos' Blue Origin to make history with unpiloted civilian space flight
Jeff Bezos may have been beaten to space by rival Richard Branson, but the billionaire American businessman is poised to make history next week aboard what would be the world's first unpiloted suborbital flight with an all-civilian crew.
