Yeah imagine that, rockets were just being invented and things went wrong. WOW

60 years later they can’t make their orbits.

Why do you guys celebrate this Obama bundler getting these sweet deals?

Included in those videos were late model Deltas, Atlases, and a Titan IV launch.

When I look at the list of Titan launches going back to 1959, I still see failures even in the 1990s.

Musk not only gets our money for SpaceX, he got our money for his Tesla electric cars. Very well connected, indeed. Our Paypal...

If we measured someone's worth by their politics we'd be democrats. They are the ones who consider political influence to be more important that achievement.

Paypal and SpaceX are great businesses, and Falcon/Dragon is a far cheaper way to orbit than the shuttle was. So the founder of those businesses is an idiot in his politics. That doesn't change the value of those businesses.
