I desperately want there to be genuine competition to SpaceX.

But another billionaire? Another trumper?

oh well. let 'em burn.

I imagine it's hard not to have another billionaire as a competitor to a space company. 😬

Yeah it's such a niche market that you've gotta be super into rockets and have money to burn if you want to start one of these companies.

Yeah you definitely need to have a lot of money if you're using it as rocket fuel.

Good news in the morning. Launch pad destroyed, this will keep geofffff off the the space for a year at least. I only wish he was in the rocket.

Too bad Bezos wasn't on board. Better luck next time!
