@jordanworld @RocketLab ever heard the term “One man’s garbage rocket is another man’s treasure rocket” 🤭

@business @foxjust @opinion Of course . . . it is the ultimate proof that corporate special interests run our almost-defunct American democracy these days

Wow that was close! 😬

Wherever Wally’s energy went, I’m sure she’s NOT resting!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Wally Funk.

Wally was a pioneer in every sense of the word. In her 20s, she was the first female civilian flight instructor at a U.S. military base. She became the youngest of the Mercury 13, outperforming nearly every test put in front of her, and ultimately, the only one of the thirteen to have ever reached space.

On NS-16, sixty years later, Wally made history as the oldest astronaut at the time and remains the oldest woman to ever fly to space. It was a moment six decades in the making. We were humbled to be part of her journey.

Her story will continue to inspire generations of future explorers.

Fly Wally, Fly. 🚀

@FreightAlley Right? Never mind that one of the major Big Oil mafia members is French (i.e. Total) lol maybe try to get them on the hook as well for the accelerated climate change this planet is experiencing now 🧐

@ExVirginn @Southcom @JoelvinRV I’m pretty sure that neither the reduced Embassy staff nor Southcom have the local knowledge to be able to bring the aid down to the street level . . . you’ll need people who actually live there . . . any suggestions?

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@SeanParnellASW Didn’t you guys just nab their socialist leader from that same area not too long ago? So WTF exactly are you guys waiting on now lol an ETA on wheels down would be A LOT MORE USEFUL . . . let’s use those « unmatched » American taxpayer-funded resources to save lives instead 🙏🇺🇸

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@ExVirginn @Southcom @JoelvinRV So what are are your ideas/suggestions for quickly distributing that aid then?

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@Southcom Didn’t you guys just nab their socialist leader from that same area not too long ago lol you should have ALL THAT DATA available already, right? Right now an ETA on wheels down would be MUCH MORE USEFUL! Let’s use all those « unmatched » resources to save lives instead 🇺🇸

For once the Scaramuch is kinda right about something 🤭

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.

He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products they’re building.

Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.

If I do that, they’re not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.

We’ve lost that plot entirely.

We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and they’re missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.

Capitalism works, but only if people believe the game is worth playing.

Right now they don’t and history is very clear about what comes next.

@thekookreport @davill Tacoma? You should have been alive back in the Hilux days . . . that one is probably the pickup truck’s GOAT!

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@FreightAlley It is also tone-deaf to fail to talk about the American corporate fat cats who bankroll the politicians who have allowed said non-compliant immigrants to flood the trucking industry, just like it has happened with the low-wage agriculture & construction industries

@CuriosityonX Never fear death, as it is just the event during which your energy (soul) moves onto the next vessel

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@MarieEm99 @CuriosityonX 💯

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@FreightAlley Yes, because here in the good ol’ USA we would never subsidize corporations or bail out our “too big to fail” banks like a normal free market should

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

Ouch 🥴

[Asher B. @asherbphotos]

It appears Blue Origin has had a testing failure with a GS2 tank in the 2Cat test facility on their campus at Cape Canaveral.

Given the noticeable roof damage and overall damage to the facility, it’s very likely this was unintentional.

It will be interesting to see if we hear more details from them on this.

@FreightAlley and that’s exactly the reason why we are where we are today 😏

[André Vélez @CapiAndreV]

@ChsSTRguy @FreightAlley they love who? The chavista despots are still in charge lol it’s like saying the drug cartels stopped trafficking after their leaders were taken out . . . NOT!
