Good stuff. Thanks!

I always knew the private sector would do a better job in space then NASA.

Can I quarantine with the blonde two rows back from him?

That’s the boss, Elon Musk. He’s bullet proof.
and based on his tweets, he’s a believer in the HCQ protocol.

You might be thinking of Al Worden. Command module pilot of Apollo 15. He passed away a few months ago.

Thought it was someone from the Mission Control crew. But, you may be right.

They wanted them close to a port and access to medical from an earlier statement.

They should have some views from a chopper towards the end I would think

Investing in something other than a capsule would require work, time, and money.

That's what they make Wall Street for.

The private sector is now taking up the charge, and doing a damn site better than NASA ever did. The shuttle was a dangerous, ungainly and hideous boondoggle. I'm glad it's retired.

A "space plane" is in the works (and space)....X37-B. I liked the "Sanger" concept from decades ago.
