That’s great news. I can’t believe we were paying Russia 75 mil each time we sent one of ours.

Looks like the USA is back in the manned space business.

Way to go, SpaceX!

Now, if we can keep NASA from “helping”.

I hope that Tesla’s volatile situation has no carryover effect on SpaceX.

Russia is charging that per seat. SpaceX can do an entire launch for less than two seats and still make a profit.

I saw a Tesla this morning on the way to Mass - nice car, smooth acceleration …

Where are all the FReepers who have been complaining for years that we didn’t have the ability to launch our own astronauts?

Tesla is doing better now than they ever have. Regardless, it has no effect on SpaceX.

I’ve not complained much myself. We have more than had the capability, what we lacked was the priority. Zerobama had to have NASA tracking global warming and all sorts of other crap, along with us trying to make everything “green” instead of leading the world in space exploration.

Here in the bay area you see them all the time. They’re like Toyotas.

If your Tesla is stolen, does it become an Edison?
