Default For The Rocketeer Who Has Everything: One Crashed Rocket

I assume this is the ship Mad Mike Hughes died in, but not sure. Maybe his first flight was crash damaged as well.

At any rate, for a cool million dollars, you too can own a truckload of crashed rocket parts. That kind of ups the level on ‘eBay rescue rockets’, no?

Not my listing nor do I know the lister.

He's also listed a piece of the dead guy's flight suit.

ebay listing

I think they are saving the actual body parts until after they unload this less desirable stuff.

Wow. Some things even I can't make fun of. This is seriously tasteless. (The auction, not the post.)

This is truly sad, I got this from the seller, I asked when Mike wore that suit and what record was set since the listing says a record was set:

“February 22, 2020. Yes, a record was accomplished. True exact height unknown.. at least a mile”

That guy deserves the Darwin Award of the DECADE for stupidity alone.

Agreed! That surpasses even one of the Darwin Award winners many years ago: the guy that mounted a JATO bottle to his Impala. IIRC all they found of him was a tooth

Hmm, in a case like that, is a casket even used for a single tooth--or do they just use a ring box or something small like that.

In that case, do they dig a full-sized hole for the grave or do they just use a fence post auger to make the hole and toss the ring box in.

In that case, would they use a gas powered auger or an electric auger. Probably gas powered because the outlets in a cemetery would probably be scarce and would all have to have a GFCI because they're outside and the GFCI's would have to be able to handle the amperage of an electric auger. It would probably be better to use a gas auger.

Good God! I need to get back on the road!
