While biking home from watching the pre-dawn launch of NASA's Crew-2 mission I stopped and took this shot of the remnants of the rockets vapor trail

@AnandWrites The space race of the 60s was the government paying private companies to build rockets, as disheartening as it is to see a billionaire go to space with world as it is, this is a proof of concept for securing lucrative government contracts. Not really that different.
@NASASpaceflight Wayward helicopter hovering over jetty Park (I'm here now) at t-1, basically over the water in the channel, I would bet they're the culprit
@NASASpaceflight Everyone keeps bringing up the the contract protest as some sort of insult to the losers of the bid, isn't this routine? Wouldn't SpaceX likely have protested if they lost? Why is fighting hard for a multi-billion dollar contract something people scoff at? This is business.
