when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it.

gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know."

he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."

neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.

together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."

spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.

the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you?

A young man has just been killed for debating people on college campuses and you want to make this about your pet issue?

There is a war happening in Gaza. It was started by the government of Gaza called Hamas. It is Hamas that is putting Palestinians in harm's way and it is Hamas that is refusing to end this right now by simply handing over the hostages they never should have taken and surrendering.

What the fuck does this have to do with a man being assassinated on a college campus you twisted piece of shit?
