But lets be completely honest here - 1 dude (Elon) who has gathered a ton of brilliant minds around him over 2 decades and for most of that time had to battle against every military defence contractor for satellite launch contracts
vs a full blown government backed enterprise with virtually unlimited funds.
Not at all detracting from what China has been getting done, it's incredible the pace of progress, but holy shit, if not for Elon, US would barely even have a space program at this point. Genuinely wtf has a single one of the legacy players even done in the last 20 years? can anyone name a single thing that isn't just rehashing some 40-60 year old blueprints?
@brentfo54196193@MarcusHouse It was never designed to be towed in the water. So there is literally no where to attach a towline. Nothing in the nose section was designed to to be pulled from, but only to resist aerodynamic loads from the opposite direction
@cameroneast2020@SpaceX No way to attach to the nose. This was never planned for. The easiest thing to attach to in this environment is some of the robust engine mounting points
@Nick86LGM@muskonomy Consider the journey the pilgrims did to America in 1620, facing uncertainty, hardship and uncertainty. This is the same concept, just on a bigger scale. I’d even argue that the mars/moon pilgrims will have far more awareness of what awaits them, and better support.
Enough with the false flag operation that you are desperately pushing @SpanbergerForVA
You told Virginia voters last fall that you wouldn’t redistrict our state and silence millions of voters, but you lied and tried to do it anyway.
You knew from the very start that your scheme was illegal and unconstitutional. You had my official AG opinion which laid out in clear detail why each action was unconstitutional, but you ignored it and pushed ahead with the referendum anyway.
When a judge halted the referendum because he found it had violated the state constitution, the AG and your legal team appealed his ruling to the VA Supreme Court and argued that the case couldn’t be heard until AFTER the vote had taken place. Then, when the VA Supreme Court ruled and said you had violated the law, you lied about why you lost the case (and then some in your party even hatched a plot to remove all of the Justices as retribution).
Now the US Supreme Court in a 9-0 decision, with Biden and Obama appointees agreeing, unanimously ruled that you broke the law and the entire process was unconstitutional from the beginning.
Enough with the bait and switch, Governor. It’s time to be honest with Virginians for once.
You and your fellow Democrats tried to illegally and unconstitutionally strip millions of Virginians of their voice in congress, costing taxpayers millions, dividing our state and pitting neighbor against neighbor, all to seize political power.
@GovernorVA Great.
Next time how about you follow your own state's laws and also write the ballot question in a non-confusing way?
That way you can lose again.
@MatthewMcCrac18@UserRedDawg@mercoglianos There is no chance in hell Iran would agree to this. In principle, yes for sure. But they lose if the world sees this as the US successfully running the strait. The only waybtheybwouodnever agree to this is if it was publicly announced on BOTH sides
@24_70xu@sultanthesultan If Iran is stupid enough to attack their neighbors, why wouldnt they join in the attacks on Iran? Iraq tried to get Saudi Arabia and Israel involved by attacking those countries back in 1990. Didn’t work then, either
@Pro__Trading Well for starters, if it’s true the Iranian are digging out collapsed tunnels, that shows they have value to the Iranians. Those sites will be hit again, further destroying the tunnels.
After that, the US will even be more forcefull with capturing ships, even outside the Gulf
