Elon doesn’t need NASA to get to Mars or the Moon but NASA can’t even get to low earth orbit without Elon.

Up until 2-3 years ago, they used a former nuke my grandpa worked on in the 50s just fine. You know it as the delta rocket.

This is a microcosm that is representative of the sad current day reality of our Nation. We did more with fricking slide rules in the 60’s.

We are back-sliding in so many areas of achievement. It’s as though we don’t have the collective will for it, and the massive waste and corruption in the federal government compounds it exponentially.

I'm wondering how long before the uber rich just buy their own island and claim sovereignty. Just move your company to this new land. Put in place you're own rules. Still pay taxes in wherever you operate. spend a few hundred million on security, etc.
