#12"Livestream starting soon". Does anyone know what time they're starting? (And please use a numeric timezone, I'm not a walking timezone database.)
I've never watched an Elon Musk livestream that started on time. Not sure if I'm spoiled by Apple keynotes always starting on time, or if live stream start times at SpaceX are just as loose as the company's other timelines

Google "1:30pm CST". It shows it in your local time.

#15In this case, it's pretty clearly not just a rocket. Both Bezos and Musk admit that this is their fantasy from when they were boys. We're never going to live on mars, this is entirely about mythological projection. The phallus is central to the purpose of this endeavor.

#17This is so pleasant to see after being bombarded with US presidential politics. Science, hope and progress!
Agree. I watched my first and last presidential debate yesterday, they raised no relevant solutions. I'm so giddy, what a better way than to spend such historical date with my fellow HN users!
