all the rioters and insurrectionists and arsonists and just plain Thugs can GTH with their funder/organizer SorozNazi together!
space is indeed the next frontier. I am hoping to live long enough to at least see the first human settlements on the moon and Mars. from there....its virtually limitless!

and who knows what, or who we may discover?

spending 10 years and untold billions getting back to where you started after the obamites abandoned manned space flight (because (a) it didn’t leave enough free money to permit “comprehensive [fill in the blank] reform, or (b) any men in space looks like the militarization of space to a socialist) does not, in and of itself, prove the success of privatization.

And I hear Russia was fairly grumpy about the new kid on the block getting all the limelight. No one wants a competitor, especially one which appears to be agile and skillful.

I think the author meant: “The importance of this event cannot be overstated.”

Our nephew is a launch engineer with SpaceX who designed oversaw construction of the launch arm, and our daughter is a flight controller in Mission Control in Houston, and talks to the International Space Station astronauts weekly. Both chose to go into aerospace rather than the oil and gas industry. Good choice.

I listened to one talk by Elon Musk that caught my attention. He has laid the groundwork for SpaceX using the traditional Ford Motor Company manufacturing assembly line. I like his approach which allows for flexibility and adaption. Imagine a Falcon, Falcon Heavy and something as funny as a ludicrous Falcon Heavy.

Flexible companies lead to adaptive change. Inflexible companies lead to creative destruction. Inflexible governments lead to failure and resource destruction.
