I'm still chuckling that they called the rocket "It's Business Time". I'm guessing partly a hat tip to SpaceX and the naming of their drone ships, but more so

I'm still chuckling that they called the rocket "It's Business Time".
I'm guessing partly a hat tip to SpaceX and the naming of their drone ships, but more so named after a song by the Flight of the Conchords.
- typon 8y agoThey should have named it the Conchord
- dwd 8y agoHopefully this will be just the first of many, and looking forward to what they come up with next time. Congrats on the launch!
- nkurz 8y agoFor the those wondering why he chuckles, here's the song in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU
- allannienhuis 8y agoThank you for that! How have I not come across that gem before? :)
- tambourine_man 8y agoThanks for that, I had a good laugh. I’m still amazed there are videos of something you’ve never heard of with 35 million views.
- discoball 8y agoI remember Flight of the Conchords was a huge hit in the Bay area in 2007-2009 amongst the hipster-ish and nerdy crowd. We used to torrent it =) along with HyperDrive (British comedy set in space) and the super popular IT Crowds. All great shows. I think HBO allows you to watch it for free now: https://www.hbo.com/flight-of-the-conchords https://www.hbo.com/flight-of-the-conchords

- fvdessen 8y ago> I'm still chuckling that they called the rocket "It's Business Time". A more sensible choice than "The Humans Are Dead"
