Elon Musk buys the rocket and property for $400m and makes OP CEO. OP proceeds to live the dream of buying up Dukes of Hazzard memorabilia.

If you live in Arizona every house has a pool because of the heat.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Rich? Every other house in the Phoenix area has a pool. I've rented a house with a pool for 800 a month.

10 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

Damn, I'm not wealthy enough to afford my own house, much less my own magical fire bird.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's Phoenix. I think a pool is a necessity for the purposes of not dying from the heat.

The refractive index of the weak chlorine solution, is such that the green wavelengths of visible light are not absorbed and therefore 1/2

What are those plate things that pop out?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'd guess antenna. It's a live test and having a good connection is the difference between pass/fail

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Grid fins, they're aerodynamic surfaces that help stabilize and guide the rocket as it descends.
