Smith TwitterWe all know that van isn't "bad ass" enough for SpaceX Commercial Crew Astronauts. I mean the crew transport vehicle is pretty obvious already: the falcon wing doors on the Tesla Model X are perfect for letting a suited astronaut into and out of the vehicle easily and quickly, and there is plenty of space left over for the flight surgeons and whoever else the NSA entourage consists of.

Made it just a little bit more badass.
Sorry for messing around in advance. A model X is to dull for a crew transportation vehicle. I was thinking about the SuperBus TUDelft developed. It is fully electric and can drive 155 miles an hour.
Here's that article. Yeah, L2 has a collection (in a cool section that's covered the pad work since the first shovel in the ground) and of course there's others out there too, but I've beefed this up with the rollout procedures that were outlined to us.http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/11/spacex-conducts-rollout-39a-te/
By February of this year, steel columns – around 50 to 55 feet high – rose out of the foundations at the perimeter.

Interesting, as Englishman we use feet a lot more than meters. I'm six foot tall. I don't have a clue what I am in meters. Now I do, because I googled it! Will keep it in mind for future articles.
