puts on conspiracy hat

Did musk hit it with something?

Probably because it's very important that he is involved in every discussion, even if it doesn't initially involve him.

Nah, it obviously wanted to whistlelbow about Boeing.

Doubtful. Dude ain't got no ups.

Musk probably hit it with his signature offensive odor

I did read about this yesterday, and as far as I know the name of the sat is intelsat 33e and its for communication purposes. I'm curious to know what really happen, how it broke.

It was probably an emergency exit hatch for the magic rocket gas.
