    I turn 60 this month, and from a kid who thought during the 60s I might be an astronaut when I got older working on an L5 space station only to experience a snails pace disinterested government abandon space nearly altogether, THANK YOU to everyone at SpaceX, and Elon Musk for bringing that dream back alive potentially for my son. It’s so amazingly inspirational, and awe inspiring. Thank You!

      I am with you! I saw Starship two times go up from S. Texas! I missed all of the Apollo and all of the Shuttle launches but have the fever again also. Starship test 2 I got to witness with my son. Very thrilling! Test 3 I am hoping to see with my 9 year old grandson. He and my son are currently in N. California so it is going to be difficult. But maybe with more frequency of launches it will all happen for us. If you can, you should see it in person from South Texas.

      You are just lucky the US abandoned space shortly after landing on the moon, the insane amount of spending that was needed to win the race to the moon against the Soviets would have bankrupted the States, just like Soviet Union WAS bankrupted by its effort to keep up.

Whenever someone brings up the metric system nonsense I just remind them we put men on the moon using imperial. Anyway.

      You can love SpaceX but dislike Musk. He was cool up until he called that rescue diver a pedo after it was pointed out to him that a rigid kid-sized submersible would not be sufficient for the task of navigating a small, winding, irregular cave system underground. And then his credibility tanked after buying Twitter and allowing hate speech on it. I had to stop using it because CSAM, both real and AI-generated, are now infesting the platform to the point where you can stumble on that shit just trying to browse normally. Not to mention left-wing activists being banned for no reason, while right-wing hate speechers get unbanned to spew their vitriol. It's clear to anyone with eyes that he doesn't actually value free speech, he's simply using the platform he bought to push his own political agenda.
      Tesla isn't doing so hot either. Musk has insisted on using a sub-optimal navigation system for reasons only known to him. The self-driving capabilities aren't even that good anymore, they slacked and now the competition has caught up, all of who are using the actual navigation instruments they need so they're going to be better. The main flaw of the Tesla is maintenance, it's expensive and sometimes impossible to repair those things, compared to any other vehicle you can take to one of the 50 body shops in your area to have serviced.
      SpaceX has done good work. I mean, they did in a handful of years what no other space agency, even the government funded ones, could do in decades. SLS has been in development since 2011 and has only had 1 unmanned test flight so far. In that time, SpaceX has designed, tested, and flown the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and has done more test flights with Starship than SLS now. They do deserve praise for their accomplishments.
      But just because I can praise SpaceX, doesn't mean I have to like Musk as well. He's a psychopathic millionaire who cares more about his ego than actually doing good in the world. Otherwise he wouldn't have wasted $44b on Twitter and would have instead spent that money on improving Tesla, or SpaceX, or any of his other businesses.

I think the real "hatred" only started because he bought X or twitter and allowed actual free speech. He made a lot of evidence public on how twitter was shadow banning people or silencing them, that isn't a conspiracy theory it was debated and proven in congress at committee hearings. Look, I get why people feel a certain way, I would to if all I listened to was legacy media like MSNBC. Clearly there was a bias against him after he made some right leaning comments. After he showed how Twitter was violating certain people that the left hates. I consider myself more independent which is why I just look up facts and laugh at both sides when they claim one or the other is blah blah whatever. Musk is a human being with his own opinion. That isn't going to make me hate or like the guy. I may not agree with everything he says and he is surely allowed to be wrong. I just don't understand the sudden hatred because of something he said or did. Musk bought Twitter for tens of billions, surely he can do as he pleases with his company. The real issue is his opinions and the fact that they didn't align with the left or Biden at times. One would think Biden would invite Musk the leader in EVs in the US to a EV talk with leaders of the industry.

SpaceX via Starlink has also helped to keep people connected and at an affordable price and most of it as a profit loss for internet products. SpaceX is also the only reason the US was able to send hundreds of rockets to space accounting for 90 something percent of all launches. Guess how many the US government launched? 11 out of nearly 300 I think. I mean, without SpaceX the US would be far behind in the space race. Personally, I think you guys should be thanking Elon Musk but instead you attack him. What a shame, most countries would pay Musk to move to them. Guy really cares and has proven it. Yet, here I am trying to explain to someone why Musk is an asset to the nation. I won't mention his Neuron-brain tech I can't even explain. I mean, he doesn't like some progressive policies, Oh No, just get over it, why so senitive all the time.

ULA I have no idea what they're doing these days, don't think their Vulcan Centaur has gone commercial yet. Blue Origin sadly just a pissing contest by Bezos.

      Due to how remote our system is, and how young our radio emission and life has been on this planet, no living being in the universe knows that we exist, and will ever know that we exist. We are alone on a very far away place, with no way to reach the core systems that have had billions of years worth of evolution and life-supporting systems. Life does exist somewhere in our universe, that is a mathematical fact, but we will never be able to confirm it. Our universe is bigger and older than we thought, even JWST is finding evidence of that (or our misunderstanding of how quickly galaxies can form).

    I watch every Vandenberg launch I can from Llano in the Mojave desert, over 100 miles away. From this distance, the main booster flame is the size of 1/3 of a #2 pencil held at arm's length, and very bright and conspicuous. Can almost always hear the sonic boom of the first stage returning, and watch the second stage all the way to the SE horizon.
