They just need to rename the rocket after another graceful flier with a tendency for bad landings:

The Albatros.

Wait, barge-launced and barge landing? That makes it nautical. Sorry, sorry, I retract my suggestion, they don't need THAT name hanging off their neck.

I had heard on BBC news this morning something about this thing crashing due to running out of landing fuel. The folks on there this morning were talking about how Google is dumping a considerable sum to into Space, ostensibly to get the internet into Borneo or something to that effect, but we who really know what is going on know it is just a bunch of dudes at Google wanting to look over their neighbor's fence when she is sun bathing.

First off, not EVERYONE in the tech world is a pervert locked into an adolescent mindset, there are many more reasons to get the internet to be a global communications outlet than just being able to stream porn from anywhere.Do you realize how many advancements in Civilization came about because two people who normally would not have talked to each other had a chance meeting, and the fresh ideas or fresh perspective led so something wonderful? Most of the success stories on this planet are about chance meetings. The 'honest rich' (aka, the 'new money,' the ones who weren't born wealthy but built their wealth on their own) will tell you that the secret is Hard Work & Dedication. The third part, they they neglect to mention is Dump Luck. If Tesla had never met Edison, he would not have been introduced to Westinghouse, and the world might well have never had Alternating current to power the electrical grid. The internet allows for more connections between people who may otherwise never have met, and those connections may spark innovations we can not even dream of today. Shame on you for reducing the technological innovators to mere horny teenagers.

Secondly, is the neighbor hot? #YesThereHadToBeAPunchLine
