On the news, Space X probes wildly successful, and publishes this text, with blows like this one:

… If there are cost overruns, SpaceX will cover the difference. (This concept may be foreign to some traditional government space contractors that seem to believe that cost overruns should be the responsibility of the taxpayer.) …

It is ironic to also see these other news on Facebook and Angry Birds:

• Facebook buys Instagram for 1 billion dollar. HN is quick to find a nexus:

  Facebook could have started an entire space program for less money Zuckerberg spent on Instagram.

• And NASA presents Angry Birds in Space. Fellow hacker @svenningsen finds yet another nexus:

Your smartphone has more computing power than all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man to the moon. We launch birds into pigs #fail
