Why arent we talking about the moon rocket?

Those people make SpaceX look better and better every day.

They did four wet dress rehearsals before this and all of them failed. Then they decided to try it anyway. No one was shocked with the results. I bet they have to roll it off the pad again.

Hey it's the first new crewed NASA vehicle in... 45 years? SpaceX was exploding all over the place too at the beginning.

The Senate Launch System is a fucking joke.

 

[ZRH]

The Senate Launch System is a fucking joke.

Well yeah, the government is building it.

I wonder if NASA employees have to swear an oath... Postal employees do.

Why arent we talking about the moon rocket?

Because it doesn't fit into the narrative that Elon is our only hope.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Because it doesn't fit into the narrative that Elon is our only hope.

Been putting in applications all over the state. Saw a company that claims they want to directly compete with Mr. Repopulation. They got an application.

 

[Domon]

Because it doesn't fit into the narrative that Elon is our only hope.

also, because its a miserable bureaucratic failure.

There are quite a few launch providers...

 

[Jehannum]

There are quite a few launch providers...

And only one of them lofts people out beyond LEO.

 

[fly]

And only one of them reaches out beyond LEO.

For now. But is that metric that even matters?

We probably could have 10 that do, if the government seeded some of these companies with the $93B we spent on Artemis. But again, beyond LEO is a low volume launch, so 10 would probably even be too many.

Well if the government hadn't just given everyone who took basket weaving $20k to forgive college loans...

Oh and you know, the people who set up shell companies to collect the employee compensation stuff during COVID...

Seems Bezos' dick rocket had a premature ejaculation today.

I think that was yesterday.

Yeah... It was Sunday night... Do you get your news by mail? You have to try this new thing called the wireless.
