Blue Origin is having more problems making their engines than SpaceX, just ask ULA.

the drill-powered gondola lift that takes Hot Wheels cars from the very bottom of the track all the way back to the highest point in the tree again. Operated by a small Lego minifigure at the controls inside, it turns this whole track into a continuous Hot Wheels roller coaster, but more importantly, it means no one…

In my head I’m picturing this going down similar to how Peter abdicated in the fantastic (and occasionally true) show “the Great”.

that’s probably true - but it’s known how launches affect payloads so they can plan for that. This was an unplanned vibration and therefore you need to know how it affected things.

Maybe she (correctly) realizes that telling her story can help people who are stuck in conservatorships who are NOT famous?

I can’t believe that show has not gotten more buzz. It’s really good.

The article doesn’t mention this but they still ended up showing this video on a bigger screen - so no - while silly, it doesn’t matter.

Remember that Percy is essentially also headed back toward the landing site.

Yeah, and it’s tough because they “think” they are helping. It’s nice that they are are not an asshole with toxic ideas, but simply an asshole with ok ideas. Rogan validates their “asshole-ness” so they don’t feel they need to change that part of them.

It’s still less than we spend on the military.

Guys that have liberal wives they respect and are still learning is my most positive read of the guys in this category. Somehow Rogan makes this set feel real good about themselves.

It’s this exactly - it’s also why in their minds this is just a “free vacation” for dad. Modern Dads don’t look at it like that. I took all the available PTO I had when my daughter was born (no paternity leave available) and it definitely was not a vacation. It meant our family didn’t get an actual vacation til my…

Comedy has a long history of provoking deeper thought by sometimes saying outlandish things.

That’s the thing that struck me the most - usually a person arguing someone was mean to them and they didn’t deserve it - would offer up at least SOME anecdote about how they were nice to that person to help show how the meanness was undeserved. This doesn’t even occur to Meghan.

SpaceX nearly bankrupted him during Falcon 1 development - when he was actually spending all that money - he wasn’t worth 200 billion.

Agreed. Articles like this continue to be written because the authors can count on engagement. I think it comes down to the fact that Elon has very publicly said some rather ignorant things about subjects that have nothing to do with his companies, and therefore the layman thinks he’s smarter than Elon. That’s why all…

never applies to the haters because they reliably announce themselves.

But what if they get addicted to us being reasonable with stupid ideas? I mean, we don’t want to spoil them, as that might lead them to think their ideas are reasonable.

Very little of this show is about what happens on the pitch, so I guess you are both correct.

Question for you before I make assumptions - Do you feel there was EVER a time that private enterprise wasn’t completely mixed with Space? It’s never been the case in the US. Just because NASA is written on the side of a piece of space hardware, doesn’t mean they actually built it themselves.
