I am still trying to comprehend how these two guys have more resources, ability and influence than any world government.

[mewzilla]

Is this a contract...

Or a laundered pay-off for services rendered?

Because, unlike governments they have vision and can act upon them.

They don’t need to fight the internal struggles of government inertia and political cowardice and can decide I want to do something and work to make it happen

Just a month after Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched the world’s most powerful rocket to date - the 400-ft long, $67 million Starship - only for it to explode mid-air just four minutes into flight...

This is why the media is so untrustworthy and cannot be relied on to deliver even the most basic information in a non-biased way.

The Starship launch was a TEST FLIGHT. Thus, it was expected to fail all along. The very purpose of test flights is to identify failure points and work on them for the next launch. Many expected Starship to just blow up on the pad. That fact that it nearly got into orbit on the very first try should be celebrated, not ridiculed.

Has Bezos even reached orbit yet?
