  • IN HAPPY NEWS, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO

  • A STORY WE TALKED ABOUT YESTERDAY, I HAVE TO DOUBLE PUMP

  • ONE, ONE WE TALKED ABOUT YESTERDAY.

  • I AM STILL PUMPED ABOUT ELON MUSK AND HIS COMPANY SPACEX'S

  • INCREDIBLE LAUNCH YESTERDAY OF THEIR ROCKET CALLED THE FALCON

  • HEAVY.

  • THE LAUNCH WAS AMAZING TO WATCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TWO BOOSTERS

  • ACTUALLY REENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE AND LANDED BACK AT

  • THE CAPE IN SIN SINK RONISSITY.

  • IT WAS THE HAPPIEST ANYBODY HAS BEEN YELLING, "LOOK, THE ROCKETS

  • ARE HEADED STRAIGHT TOWARDS US.

  • AND THE TANKS ARE COMING DOWN THE ROAD!

  • BUT THE PART I CAN'T GET OVER IS WHEN THE ROCKET DEPLOYED A RED

  • TESLA CONVERTIBLE WITH A MANNEQUIN IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT,

  • BLASTING DAVID BOWIE'S "LIFE ON MARS?"

  • THAT WAS JUST COOL.

  • WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED AT THE LIVE FEED FROM STARMAN, AND WHAT

  • I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WAS HOW BREATHTAKING THIS LOOKED.

  • THAT'S AN ACTUAL FEED.

  • IT'S SO SURREAL AND MOVING TO SEE SOMETHING THAT ORDINARY

  • FLOATING IN SPACE.

  • I LITERALLY WATCHED IT FOR HOURS.

  • WHOEVER BULLIED ELON MUSK IN HIGH SCHOOL, THANK YOU.

  • THANK YOU FOR JUST-- HE'S GOT TO GET JUST A LITTLE COOLER.

  • ( APPLAUSE ) AND JUST AS AMAZE AGO THIS IS

  • TRUE-- 20 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS AN AD FOR "3rd ROCK FROM THE

  • SUN."

  • AND ALTHOUGH ON A CERTAIN LEVEL IT'S COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS,

  • ACCORDING TO ELON MUSK, THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT.

  • >> IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE A NORMAL CAR IN SPACE.

  • IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE'S A TINY

  • RODESTER WITH A TINY SPACEMAN I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF SILLY AND

  • FUN, BUT I THINK-- I THINK THAT'S-- YOU KNOW, SILLY, FUN

  • THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.

  • >> Stephen: YES, SILLY, FUN THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) BUT NOT IN SPACE TRAVEL, ELON.

  • I TAKE SPACE TRAVEL VERY SERIOUSLY.

  • IN FACT, ONE DAY I HOPE TO BE THE FIRST MAN ON URANUS.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

  • I GOTTA SAY, AMERICA'S GOT A LONG HISTORY OF SILLY SPACE

  • FLIGHT.

  • WHO CAN FORGET J.F.K.'S STIRRING SPEECH?

  • >> WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON IN THIS DECADE

  • AND DO THE OTHER THINGS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY, BUT

  • BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE NIXON'S KEYS UP THERE.

  • IT WILL BE HILARIOUS.

  • >> Stephen: AND IT'S NOT JUST FUN.

  • IT'S ACTUALLY GREAT ADVERTISING FOR TESLA, WHICH SPENDS ZERO

  • DOLLARS ON ADVERTISING EVERY YEAR.

  • AS ONE EXPERT PUT IT, "THE BUZZ HE CREATES WITH A STUNT LIKE

  • THIS IS FAR BEYOND WHAT MARKETING DOLLARS CAN BUY YOU."

  • AND MUSK ALREADY HAS COPYCATS.

  • TODAY, THEY SHOT THE TRIVAGO GUY INTO THE HEART OF THE SUN.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) HE GOT A GREAT DEAL.

  • HE GOT A GREAT DEAL THERE, ACTUALLY.

  • AND IT LOOKS LIKE SPACEX WILL CONTINUE IT'S MISSION OF HAVING

  • FUN WHILE MAKING BREAKTHROUGHS IN SPACE TRAVEL, BECAUSE ELON

  • MUSK IS CALLING HIS NEXT PROJECT THE "B.F.R.," WHICH STANDS FOR

  • "BIG (BLEEP) ROCKET."

  • I HOPE THE LAUNCH GOES WELL, BECAUSE NO NEWSMAN SHOULD EVER

  • HAVE TO UTTER THE WORDS, "TRAGIC NEWS ABOUT THE BIG

  • (BLEEP) ROCKET.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) IT TOTALLY (BLEEP) CRASHED.

  • THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS."

IN HAPPY NEWS, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO
