Love his attitude.

Love his attitude.

Ambition is not something he's short on.

I woke up a bit earlier than I normally do to watch Tim's livestream this morning. The video from the stage 2 sep was really cool. (Video below starts at that point.)

I believe him. But expect someone or some entity to sabotoge. Yes...I am that cynical atp.

Well I've said since the current administration took over that they have told the FAA to clamp down on some of SpaceX speed in their testing.

Sorry Cagle...I was just about to delete my comment. Gotta try and keep this thread clean and inspiring.

They have a vested interest now, so that could change the paradigm.

China’s state rocket company unveils rendering of a Starship look-alike

Can china come up with anything on their own? Honestly, it seems like copying is the only thing they understand.

China’s state rocket company unveils rendering of a Starship look-alike

Can china come up with anything on their own? Honestly, it seems like copying is the only thing they understand.

It's the downfall of an education system that heavily relies on rote memorization and has rampant cheating, which is linked to moral deterioration after Mao basically destroyed Chinese culture.

The relatively high rate of academic cheating among today’s Chinese students is a symptom of the moral decay and lack of property-rights protections in China, which is the direct result of many decades of Communist rule.

Don’t Blame Cheating on Chinese Culture

I know, I know, that wasn't true communism.

Seen parked at the Pink Pony a strip club near Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal. Looks like they're ready to get it up.

The world's richest men fight over the moon: Elon Musk Trolls Jeff Bezos saying he 'can't get it up' after SpaceX won $2.9 Billion NASA Flight Contract beating the Amazon founder's Blue Orbit

Elon Musk trolled his fellow multibillionaire Jeff Bezos on Monday, joking that he 'can't get it up (to orbit)' after the Amazon founder's space company filed a protest against NASA for picking rival SpaceX to build a lunar lander.

Blue Origin, the Bezos’-owned space exploration company, filed a protest with the federal Government Accountability Office against NASA after the agency awarded a $2.89 Billion contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX earlier this month.

Musk took to Twitter to tease Bezos over that lawsuit on Monday evening, and replied to a tweet sharing a New York Times story about the space wrangle, writing: 'Can’t get it up (to orbit) lol.'

SpaceX's HLS Starship will include the company's tested Raptor engines, along with pulling inspiration from the Falcon and Dragon vehicles' designs

LOL, what does Bezos expect NASA to do? Bezos founded Blue Origin in September 2000, while Elon didn't found SpaceX until May 2002. Blue Origin still hasn't reached LEO with one of their rockets.
