Toyota will sell you a Camry or a RAV4, for about the same price with about the same features. Through Q3 of this year in the U.S., over 100,000 more RAV4s were sold than Camrys. That’s what people want.

There’s not one specific shape that is exactly perfect for a spaceplane. As it happens there have been only two orbital spaceplanes so far, and one was based on the design of the other. It’s tempting to conclude that this must be the only reasonable shape for a spaceplane, but this would not be accurate.

oh c’mon. This is a literal copy of X-37B. And there is nothing else like X-37B. It’s literally a unique design for US Air Force. 

Haolong are we going to allow flat out copying from China?

You obviously have no clue how the process works.

Sorry, maga. OPSEC, ITAR, and Classification apply to everyone. Anyone. Donold can’t be trusted with Secret or Top Secret documentation.

He cant just do that.. thats not how it works.

I’m way too anxious to run out of gas. I’m almost 70 and never even came close.

Who hugs somebody for more than 30 seconds at most? Will Aerosmith’s ‘Don’t wanna miss a thing’ be playing in the background, while your loved one will be sent to blow up an asteroid?

Dude paid like $200k more than it was worth and then has only paid off $80k in 3 years? This is either fake or just hilariously bad.

The City of Irvine, along with the rest of South Orange County, is a very pretentious place.  I expect nothing less from IPD. 

The actual alternative is loan sharks. And as bad as these interest rates are, loan sharks are worse, as are the penalties for non-payment.

Not sure how this can be changed....lender charges high rate due to high risk of non-payment; precisely what occurred here. High rates as a result of bad credit as a result of not paying what one owes on bills is an adverse but necessary societal situation required to incentive people to pay others appropriately and…

Are we going to talk about transportation on Jalopnik, or is this just a thinly veiled attempt to really fan the flames of class warfare by editorializing on the haves vs. have nots in every single damned article published here these days?

Nationalizing SpaceX and frankly Boeing (Space Division) is a terrible idea. Americans hate paying for space travel and space exploration. If you nationalize SpaceX, spending will go down and any you can kiss goodbye to technological breakthroughs like self landing boosters. Shuttle program failed due to costs. 

Even the Apollo Program was a who's who of US defense contractors (and Wonderbra) 

Do you think good old Ranko will let you take it off of the lot for a PPI?

It’s not like Seattle doesn’t have nice places either. I guess maybe he’s allergic to the weather, but I’d rather deal with what is ultimately rather mild PNW weather than participate in all that flying. Hell, he could afford two homes, and just winter in CA.

And people say Germans don’t have a sense of humor... 

man some of those are pretty ludicrous looking, and not in a particularly good way. The aurora looks awful.
