I’m not a Musk fan and I don’t even have a twitter account, BUT the businesses he is involved in are, in my opinion, causing the glacial progress of ‘established corporations’ to get off their asses and make some positive changes for humanity.

But if a piece of debris hit my vehicle, would the PRC be buying me a new Loaded Colorado Bison Duramax one?

Basic manners and civility are good, time tested indicators of character.

Will China be responsible for the damage caused to the property? Or an owner will be SOL?

That’s assuming we don’t already know everything about this rocket, or that there’s something to gain from it. We’ve been on the forefront of this for decades, the Chinese space program is playing catchup.

Chinese space tech, based on old Russian space tech, that I can display fragments of in my living room as a conversation piece?

So they should…

I guess one hidden benefit of that industry (in my experience) is that you could literally say “Hey, that person you just hung up on? They have a fucking 800 FICO and want this fucking car. The fuck is wrong with you? Just send them the paperwork so you can go back to doing cocaine in the parts department.” and not…

Wait… a rational first response to this article?

Then he hit me with this one, “We will absolutely not send any price quotes over the internet and we want the customer here in person to establish a relationship before discussing a price.

We Americans must defend these locally-owned family businesses from the scourge of direct sales.
