“If I was big-on-Bernie, there’s no way I’d vote for Status-Quo-Joe”

“Or it could be because that is what they will use in the real world.”

Be careful, if you say that too many times they'll put you in the greys like they did with me.

“Why have a vehicle specifically only for lunar orbit-lunar surface shuttling?”

Yes, positive. Mostly because this vehicle will not be subjected to “a couple thousand degrees of heatload” since it will not be expected to reenter through Earth’s atmosphere :)

“Having worked with a number of astronauts, I feel safe in stating that none of them would trust any automated system for the initial landing.”

“ The bigger thing I see is that the other designs have solar panels and the like, and the SpaceX design doesn’t seem to have any panels to collect energy.”

“Having been an aerospace engineer with the Space Shuttle program and therefore possibly more informed regarding access systems, I’m agreeing with Jason on this one.”

“look at that image up there; they’re using a window-washer style external elevator system to take them the 50 feet or so to the ground. That introduces a lot of potential for accidents and makes going in and out of the lander much more time-consuming.”

“90% of the first page of yours are about Musk or Tesla.”

Jason, your obsession with Elon Musk is both cringey and entertaining.

If you have nothing of value to say, why bother say anything at all?

“Stop lying.”

I wouldn’t say $50,00 is “just about” $39,900. But it’s definitely closer than what Porche would like you to believe.

What are you talking about, there's going to be a Tesla-killer any day now. Any day, just you wait!/s
