Wide open to invasion by land sea and air afaict


Hmm, we may need to rethink the Canada 51st state idea...

Lost to USA in the Olympics
Lost to USA in the World Series
Lost to USA in the Stanley Cup

Mad sass good taste

Did y'all see they came out with a report what went wrong with Starliner and it was, management just made a call to send them up on known bad gear.

The NASA guy wrote a letter saying, basically, this type of management is incompatible with human life.

It's the Titan Submersible Method. **** it, we ball. And implode.

There's definitely lots of Boeing blame but like Isaacman said, half of the blame goes to NASA and lack of oversight.

Sigh...


am I supposed to know what starliner is, and what went wrong with it?


yes

Remember the two Boeing Starliner astronauts stranded on the ISS spacestation and the Biden administration stopped SoaceX from rescuing them?


I'm sure you heard about the stranded astronauts.


vaguely remember something about stranded astronauts. barely.

my brain is ****ed. left my key fob in my car the other day. bought advil then lost it twice. been driving right past turns and exits lately. but i am in a new city.


how much are we spending on going up into space again?


by filthyvermin m

look at that public servant's home... one of his homes.

obscene.

looks vulnerable to a protest of 100k people just marching in

when you have so much money that the only way you can meaningfully spend it is by impressing other people who also have more money then they could ever need

that's when you have too much money


Not enough


never*

SpaceX's budget is larger than all of NASA. Throw Blue Origin on top of that and us tax paying Space fans are getting a bargain.


tax payers are giving space x about 20 bucks a year each. 200 million tax payers, 4 billion annually.

and what do we get for it?

I'd rather spend that money on healthcare, or public education, or housing... or just about anything other than giving to Elon to burn rocket fuel and lie about colonizing mars

there is a poem about it "whitey on the moon"


and if Elon actually really did care about saving humanity, he wouldnt' take 4 billion from tax payers. he'd just pay it himself. 4 billion is nothing to him

That's pretty much what he's doing. NASA is getting a crazy good deal (Basically 50% off) from both SpaceX and Blue Origin.

BTW, SpaceX accounts for ~80% of the world payload mass to orbit since 2023.


Who knew Trump had mad skillz? Gotta love the fight!

Welcome to the 2028 Democratic frontrunner:

wait what?


according to wiki, he has severe dyslexia


After[ college, Newsom] founded the boutique winery PlumpJack Group in Oakville, California, with billionaire heir and family friend Gordon Getty as an investor.

"I'm just like you"


In 2002, Getty founded ReFlow, a company which temporarily purchases shares in mutual funds to save funds taxes and commissions.

what were we saying earlier about capital gains or something?


U black + dumb
Me white + dumb

Might be a winning political strategy in 2026 I think we have to let the guy cook


This Tallarico guy is the biggest Trojan Horse I have ever seen. Democrats keep falling for the old I promise I just have traditional Christian valuez then they get into office and vote to reinstate slavery.

Like again with the new savior of the party is a random xtian white boy. Mayonnaise is too spicy for this twinkie.

Can I get a sista of color up in here that is not literally a cop? Maybe that Jasmine Queef or whatever her name is will run. Even the honkies like her.


2020 should have been cardi b/Bernie ticket

Bernie as vp
