  1. In comparison, Jeff Bezos is dinking around with a phallic carnival ride.

  2. What do you expect from Styx? His main interest is witches n' shit.

  3. ​@youtubeisapublisher6407 True. My husband spent 30 years as a propulsion test engineer for NASA, and he lamented all the stuff he worked on that got mothballed. Only 2 things he can think of that were not, and one, the shuttle main engine, is no longer flying. They are scattered and risk-averse. And now rotten with socially sensitive crap.

  4. ​​@Grunttamer We are just used to NASA's glacial pace, and the Air Force rocket program makes NASA look fast.

  5. Got to give NASA plenty of credit for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the shuttle, as well as some other stuff flying right now. Morpheus landing craft (don't know what they're really called, but they are going to be used in Artemis).

  6. Bidening the numbers.

  7. Musk is D.D. Harriman.

  9. @c-rex  My husband worked with quite a few young, black, female electrical and mechanical engineers, and he said they were terrific. A black female relative of mine was an E.E. in aerospace. What do you do for a living?

  11. Homework is a pain in the butt.

  12. A few hundreds of pounds, for sure.

  13. Styx is bidening his numbers.

  14. Cheaper.

  15. How are they going to lift all that gasoline to Mars?

  16. Exactly. Space R&D is a lossy, risky business that does not necessarily pay for itself in spinoff tech.

  17. @SaneMillennial  Musk does make a trailer-style house with solar for about $10,000. Reminds me of a yard barn.

  18. This is not all that new a Space X accomplishment, but landing the man-rated Falcon Super Heavy is a first. P.s. All rockets are heavier than air, afaik.

  19. To "transit" something in astronomy talk is not the verb that you think it is.

  20. There is a place for EVs on Mars, as well as for boring machines.

  21. NASA had been using a lot of old Soviet engines well into the 21st century and may still be doing so.

  22. Plus it is the Falcon Heavy. The regular Falcon has been landing intact on autonomous barges forever.
