Thought I'd start up a video topic

Interesting. Maybe.

Hard to have any interest in anything with a whiff of Musk attached to it.

I now cheer when they explode.

Here's an interesting launch...from Newfoundland. Just a sub-orbital test.  "Our launch window will re-open at 08:00 NDT on Wednesday (August 27) lasting until Friday (August 29).

Anyone else seeing a lot of videos about this interstellar object that is going through our universe?

Loads of videos about it and how it could be a ship, and of course a lot of conspiracy theories are popping up.

I enjoy conspiracies for the entertainment value, it's fun to imagine.  I know it's almost certainly BS, but it's more interesting than a lot of media right now.

Things that are completely made up tend to have more entertaining value than factual news.

For the most part I would agree, although we've all watched and read real stories that make us say WTF.
