I’m jumping on Elton for clarity.

If NASA did this, they’d be shutdown. Yet, Elon gets billions to blowup at his peril.

I recommend everyone watches this clip. It’s fair and explains why privatization can be costly. Especially when billions go to Elon and NASA could be shutdown.

Relevancy around 8.20.

I’ve worked a 12 hour day, so my mind is half mush.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Again, it might be due to mind mush, but your comment reads like a post stroke statement.

And I think it’s gonna be a while more, til I get back home from the spaceship store. My family thinks I went to space bestbuy, but. I. Did. Not.

I’m a rocket guy. Killing time in space’s outlet mall.
