SpaceX Falcon 9 launch

At least they had a good day for it. The water was practically glass it was so calm

 

Not a Falcon, but finally a successful test of the Starship. And not at 1:30 a.m., either.

 

Who plays Musk in the biopic? Joaquin Phoenix?

 

Randy Quaid

 

As an old Cape Canaveral kid, it impresses me no end that they can lift that booster and land it, let alone all of the reusable boosters landing on barges. I absolutely love it.

Egos aside, the work on reusable rocketry is important. We're going to have to mine the asteroid belt.

 

The CW is that Musk is a raging Trumper. Do we know this to be true?

 

How many billionaires can you name that are known Democrats?

 

George Soros?

Warren Buffett?

Probably Jeff Bozo because Twitchy turned him.

Probably Mark Cuban because he's supported progressive issues in the past.

There are at least 711 others according to Forbes that I have no idea their political leanings, and several that I know lean right.

 

I really don't follow it much. I figure 90% of people with that kind of money are going to lean R over pocketbook issues.

Speaking of Mark Cuban, when I linked that "Musk pumped and dumped" tweet, Cuban had already said as much.
