I hope they get the India guy that does support for Linksys. I can figure out about every third word but we communicate somehow.

I’m all for cooperating on a mars mission with other nations but not a global mission. It needs to be undertaken by a few nations that can. Not funded by nations that can and undertaken by nations that can’t.

Sorry, U.S.A. can’t participate because we’re spending all our money so welfare queens can have free healthcare.

But y’all foreigners have fun with that!

SpaceX is planning to be on Mars by 2020. At least that is what Elon Musk has planned.

With all the Federally mandated stops and the union work schedules, our high speed train will still be slower than a car...

Until he realizes that Hussein has other plans for private companies... he’ll be lucky to see LEO.

...not including the United States government, which will instead be using the next thirty years to complete some high-speed commuter trains that should have taken maybe five years at the most to build.
