WE'RE NOT GOING TO MARS, YOU FUCKING NAZI ASSCLOWN. IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA.
NASA HAS LAUNCHED MANY ROCKETS FOR MANY DECADES. YOU BLOW SHIT UP BECAUSE YOU THINK THE RULES OF PHYSICS AND MECHANICS DONT APPLY TO YOU.
EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WERE DEPORTED TO A BLACK SITE.
FUCK YOU, ELMO
I think I’d laugh myself unconscious if Trump nationalized Space X.
Trump would rather just give the ISS transport job back to his bff putin
SNASA is that you?
The IP trace shows it’s coming from the SMoon!!!
I've been saying for years that it needs to be nationalized. And this is a really good time to do so; Elon is showing that him being in charge is a national security risk.
But Trump 100% doesn't have the guts to do it.
Yeah, I doubt he could manage that.
By launching it?
And this is why billionaires should not control vital resources
But they always do.
Is he promising to leave the former US?
It is the end of manned space flight for the USA. Thanks MAGAts.
Blue Origin will have us doing it again. They truly are the tortoise of the race.
Lol, they're the stuffed tortoise of the race.
Have they even achieved orbit?
Yes, NG-1 was orbital
You were down voted, but you're correct. I had to look that up. Pretty cool, on their first attempt too. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-launches-massive-new-glenn-rocket-into-orbit-on-1st-flight-video
Not yet
Edit: Turns out I was wrong. Their craft that was supposed to make it to orbit made it on its first attempt. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-launches-massive-new-glenn-rocket-into-orbit-on-1st-flight-video
That's a load bearing "yet"
Oops, I was wrong. They made it on their first attempt at it. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-launches-massive-new-glenn-rocket-into-orbit-on-1st-flight-video
Damn that made me laugh.
Yeah, let's get the other billionaire idiot on the payroll so he can get Katy Perry to the ISS.
That would be some fireworks
Make 'em go, “Ah, ah, ah”
Blue Origin has used FAR less government money than SpaceX. That's one of the reason they sell those trips. You have to pay for things somehow.
Right. They built their rockets on Amazon wage theft and stock profits. Totally different than stealing directly from tax payers.
EDIT: Wage theft.
I mean, SpaceX has a lot more government contacts, because you know, they have working orbital vehicles...
Edit: I deleted my other post because I was mostly wrong. I didn't realize New Glen has actually launched once. Good on them for achieving orbit.
They had way more government funding to get to the point Blue Origin is at. I'm not just talking about right now. That would be silly.
