The phallic imagery is so overpowering.

I also like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtBy_ppG4hY

In case it's not clear, I hate this "multiplanetary species" garbage.

"Livestream starting soon". Does anyone know what time they're starting? (And please use a numeric timezone, I'm not a walking timezone database.)

"The video appears to show SpaceX's new rocket — the BFR, or "Big Fucking Rocket" — as well as the company's interplanetary spaceship — the BFS, or "Big Fucking Spaceship.""

This is so pleasant to see after being bombarded with US presidential politics. Science, hope and progress!

It was supposed to start at 1:30PM CST [0], but it sounds like it is delayed [1] a few minutes [2].

On the ArsTechnica liveblog, they said the talks a few minutes late but should be starting soon.

Should be any moment now. Earlier, a countdown was being held on the page. We're about 5 minutes late.

> CST

sigh

Central standard time I'm guessing, so mid-US I guess "central" and "standard" mean here, so I'm guesstimating GMT-7. That would put it around 8:30 GMT.
