Some movie a guy seen once showed a rocket blasting off thru the eye of a hurricane so I’m not worried.

Musk’s rockets don’t cost $4.1 billion. He also makes much less of a production in launching one.

Just saying.

They have light bulb takerer outers and light bulb screwer inners and then there are the ladder holders and the ladder carriers in and the ladder carriers out. Gooberment employees with full benefits and retirement. It is a bleeding miracle they can launch a rocket for $4.1 billion.

Getting lucky doesn’t mean you weren’t foolish.

Nah, it would be thrown off course by the gravity effect of Stacey Abrams when flying over Georgia. . . (evil grin)

This gives NASA a get out of jail free card if Artemis has a RUD. Climate change (hurricane) cause it to fail. (Barf)

I believe NASA is looking for an EXCUSE to NOT launch Artemis

You are pretty far off the mark. They want to have a very high probability of success.

A true and loyal American would have high hopes and aspirations for that project.

I am true and loyal to the USA not this poor pretender to former greatness. It is the people that make a nation great and ours are failing fast. Great people elect great REPRESENTATIVES, ours dont in many, many places.

Peddle your sanctimony somewhere else and dont waste it on me.

You dont know a thing about me. You just might be shocked and feel silly if you did.

I doubt it though based on your offhand uninformed verbal diarrhea.

As for the project, i think it is a waste of money when we have so much here that is just dead wrong.

Whatever your opinion though you are welcome to it and i won’t question your patriotism, only your good sense. Some people will line up for anything without understanding why.

Space program. Some great engineering achievements to be sure but Tang, velcro and memory foam just are not worth the price of poker.

Most supporters of such waste have a conflict of interest. What’s yours?

I’ve wasted enough time on ypu. Good day.
