That’s the mighty, if not almighty, SpaceX Falcon 9 blasting off into space, Elon Musk’s baby and humankind’s first step to the stars, at least as Elon tells it. Right below is Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s “Stratolaunch,” the world’s biggest airplane, which hasn’t actually flown yet, but when it does, watch out! Because it will be carrying rockets up into the ionosphere prior to launch.
And here is, well, this is an oldie, the 784-foot dirigible Macon, which bit the dust back in the thirties, but that monstrous hanger still exists, and it’s being rented by another Silicon Valley billionaire, Sergey Brin, and, clearly, Sergey is the man to, well, fill that void. And, clearly, this is the key to current free enterprise space race: the search for bigger and better penis substitutes. Just think of them as flying yachts.
