Isn't that so called LES (Launch escape system), that is a small rocket, that pulls away the capsule with an astronaut in case of emergency? Astronaut would sit in the "cone" under that red thing. Just think about the scale of the rocket if he was in the red part.

The idea that Javascript came out of obscurity and took the web by storm through baby-steps was an amazing analogy (among many others used by Kyle).
The future is unpredictable, but I agree that keeping JS simple and robust should be the way to go.
