To be fair, SpaceX isn't selling amusement park ride tickets on suborbital flights to the highest bidders like those competitors are. They aren't really comparable.
That particular mission did not have a return module. The car is still up there somewhere. To anticipate the next comment yes I know it would still be an improvement.
Me too, but it's only hope for NYC, which doesn't really help much of the rest of the country as much. Maybe he'll keep Trump busy, but he'll probably just use it as another distraction while hurting everyone.
It is hopeful if it signals a trend though, we need it to.
Both parties are going to fight him on everything, so he's going to have to rally the people behind him. Fortunately, he seems to be pretty good at that.
And studies show that not only does it increase participation obviously but that people actually do take the time to research and vote for candidates with views that align with theirs.
It's entirely possible. If we consider that much of what the GOP has accomplished has been through propaganda, it suggests that things wouldn't have gone their way if they played this game honestly. Personally, I see the last 30 years of federal politics as a wild pendulum swing, between battling ideologies in multiple directions, only becoming more energetic. I'm hopeful that this will eventually break down the brittle, false, manufactured narratives out there because it will take ever more effort to keep all that going. I have hope too.
he at no point had it. he's been a weird piece of shit no one should have listened to since he hit the scene in the 90s. we just all wake up to the truth at different moments
Hey, we need an archived link of this tweet, especially the Elon portions. Archive.is is fine. If anyone wants to help out and give it, that's great and you all have half an hour.
It commonly is, because it's logical and they understand it. When will the criminally online leftists get that too?
The goal is not to have your balls tickled by politicians, it's to do the best you can with what you have availible.
You aren't eating the rich any time soon, so you vote for change in primaries, local and state politics, and fall in line for elections, senate races (where it's too close).
there's a lot of morons who think staying on twitter while being leftish is an act of defiance and not providing the nazi bot farm the engagement it needs to perpetuate its evil. they make false equivalency comparisons saying things like leaving twitter is like fleeing a country, abandoning the people without the resources to flee. the problem with that argument is EVERYONE has the resources to leave twitter. no one is trapped on twitter, forced to stay (though the department of homeland security is surely trying by demanding all immigrants show their major social media platform posting history)
Needs text alternative such as an archived link (rule 6).
better suggestion?
Vote down Musk's obscene pay package in the upcoming Tesla shareholder meeting (November 6), and vote the opposite for the rest of the company's recommendations, too.
It's further down in the comments, one of the users came through. FYI, I usually let the moderator post go to user so it doesn't stay at the top. I prefer it to not take over the thread. Look further in and/or report it and I'll take a look at it in the *future. Thanks for looking out though.
Ought to be the post itself: anyone can correct their own post & expecting the user to go on a fishing expedition in the comments to trust someone else isn't accessible & raises a number of complications.
Therefore, even if a moderator is satisfied, it's deficient, so my objection stands.
This isn't a high security, government building. People forget or don't know how to change their post. There are much bigger things in this world to worry about.
If someone forgets or their mobile app doesn't show access to the sidebar easily, please help them out and post the archive link. This is a community.
I don't think you're duly considering the predicament for people who can't see & who will be less sure a link in the comments is right if they find it.
Some call it empathy, I call it imagination.
The best help is to correct the post.
I Remember when I knew who Elon Musk was. The guy had a joint in its hand and was sharing "dank memes" on twitter while he was setting anime as pfp. Never heard of the guy before that.
Haha, I remember when I was in a NASA Space App Challenge on a weekend some years ago. I was tired af, I was sleeping along another friend, we went to sleep late the night before, when suddenly, at fuckin 7am somebody wake up us, saying that someone important have arrived to the event. Was a guy who "worked along" Elon Musk. The man was like the 10th guy in the red thread that connected him and Elon. The guy got us listen to him like one hour and half, time that we see like lost time, we were tired, we had pizza for dinner the night before and then some random guy came to say that had worked along Elon Musk and got us one hour and half showing off that lame utter fact
I don't get the fascination with Musk. He's boring, his writing lacks any signs of cleverness or spark, and he's still physically unattractive after all that plastic surgery. What gives?
Don't they are full of plastic and gods know what else, take them to the bottom of an abandoned mine that's long and confusing then just leave them there no ligh, no food, no nothing. If they can make their way out they get a rat infested house in central Idaho with no electricity, gas, or plumbing to exist out of.

I disagree - endorsing 3 sexual predators is actually quite a lot.

That was marketing. The alternative would have been a generic mass simulator, basically just a large block of metal.

The man-rated Falcon 9 is good enough for NASA. NASA does not have low standards on these sorts of things.
Honestly, SpaceX is the only one of those that is doing actual work. Most of the others aren't much more than tourist rides at this point.
