@BrettGurewitz @badreligion Would have been cool to see you on stage with the guys but was still a hell of a show. My first time seeing @badreligion in 25 years of being a fan! had a hell of a view up in the VIP section, not as good as yours though!

@nate_vliets @ijalabko @DrTarnak @JamaalBowmanNY @PercyRover I said funded, not *solely* funded. COTS awards accounted for almost half of the funding for F9 and Dragon. $396 million vs $450 million in private investment.

[Stephen Bates @GoForStaging]

@ijalabko @DrTarnak @JamaalBowmanNY @PercyRover Falcon 9 development was also funded
