Insane feat of engineering pulled off today. They did another Starship test and then caught the booster on the launch pad.

That was cool. It looked like they played a launch in reverse.

We should send all of our NASA funding to him since he’s making them look ridiculously over funded and under delivered. That was impressive, thanks for sharing…I didn’t know SpaceX was doing this today.

One of my Dove hunters worked for him in the Space X division from 2009 to 2016. He said he had lunch with him twice, along with a couple other employees. He said he's a very good guy and treats the janitors as well as the higher ups. He said he learned so much working there. The problem was, he expects folks to work 60-80 hours a week. Many weeks he worked 90-100 hours. He said he pays very well and has made a lot of regular folks millionaires. He said he left on good terms and may go back some day. Him and his wife started having kids and he needed more free time. He was a very interesting guy to talk to.

Nope. There would also be a lot of eye witnesses.

Elon and the Space X team are running laps around NASA and Boeing. Amazing watching that launch this morning.

So we love Musk and what he is doing here, with Twitter and free speech, openly supporting Trump going as far as speaking at rallies. BUT we hate Tesla, arguably one of the most American made automotive brands currently.
So is the hate actually towards Tesla or just the left wing mandate shoved down our throats with EVs?
