The conspiracy theorists amuse me.  They're not looking for truth.  They're looking for conspiracies.  All they need to do to prove it one way or the other is to attend a launch.  A proper theorist won't do that though.

They should launch another car and ask one of these conspiracy folk to take the seat in the roadster. Since it is in a studio they would have nothing to fear, correct? :roll eyes:

Day-trading is gambling.   Although a smart guy working full time with a lot of analysis software is like a guy counting cards at a blackjack table - he can bend the odds in his direction but STILL might lose.

Long-term dollar-averaging investing in the stock market is NOT gambling, and hasn't been for 120 years .... !

What the heck...   I'll hide behind some scrubbrush!   

I'd still like to be close enough to see them nearing their platforms.   It's just so crazy to me that those stabilizers can keep them upright.   The sonic booms would be a bonus too!

It wasn't a "splat", but it did narrowly miss the floating target and sink.  I have not heard of plans to raise it.

Bugger, something to work on for next time then but a minor glitch in the overall launch.

If it is retrievable, they'll fetch it.  It's got a lot of value for failure analysis.

Listen to the audio during the launch on this video, amazing. If possible put it through a stereo or good headphones.
