After many years this means the most advanced rocket engine in the world is made in the USA, not Russia. The Starhopper uses SpaceX's Raptor engine.

Musk is pushing our lame bureaucracy at NASA to actually DO something since 50 years ago we made it to the moon. We should have kept up the manned exploration outside of low earth orbit.
Bezos and Branson are playing with toys, Lockheed is a decade behind, and SpaceX is showing them that if they tried to push harder, they would make real progress.
NASA needs to accept that they are a bloated problem.

Soon there’s going to be a million people here droning away about public welfare sucking Elon, blah, blah, blah.

And he DOES profit from gummint largesse, he really does.

Ya know, as far as FAT goes, I’d say Elon is really creating jobs and pushing America ahead.

As far as the fat chopping block goes I’d say Elon’s neck should be at the verrrry end of the line.

Too bad it looks like a flying garbage can.
I guess not all spaceships have to look sleek, sexy and aerodynamic.
But I'm happy every time they launch something without Russian lettering.
