"are they that stupid to copy a rocket that can go to orbit 0 out of 9 times?"

"I mean, SpaceX's success is dependent on the Dragon and the Falcon, not this Starship shit, which is basically taxpayer money set on fire."

It took SpaceX 20 attempts to get the Falcon 9 landings right. Now SpaceX dominates 90% of the entire world's annual orbital upmass.

Unlike you, the Chinese ruling class knows how space travel works.

Forgotten in all these discussions is that the US Congress is a thoroughly illegitimate and dysfunctional institution.

It has a dismal approval rating in the teens amongst the normies. Even the TV bloated normie can see that the US Congress lacks the Mandate of Heaven.

Debt obtained through fraud and theft should never be paid back.

If government financial reporting institutions like the CBO are willing to lie and omit the revenue of Trump's tariffs from the total revenue of the "Big Beautiful Bill," then they are willing to lie about the government's spending.

Are those Medicare and Medicaid spending charts real?

Are those dollars really going to rightful American beneficiaries, or are they really going to jewish hedgefund front groups instead?

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

@judgedread I've always wondered if he was full-blooded azn, hapa, or just a White Euro sinophile . . . but either way he speaks the languages and is very insightful

Only NRx dood I can stand
@AuntNorma China retains women having equal rights, a remnant of the communist revolution.
So... my crime is I messed up hellthreads by quote posting.

Alert the Hague.

The commentariat right's perception of space travel is stuck in the ULA/Arianespace/Shuttle paradigm.

Brilliant Pebbles, a space weapon concept for using cheap mass produced satellites to intercept ICBMs and to destroy other satellites, would've been considered infeasible under the Boeing Lockheed expendable ULA rocket paradigm.

It now exists in the form of Elon Musk's 7,000 Starlink satellites. Launched by a reusable booster that launches every 2.3 days.

To repeat one of my pet theories, derived from The Better Angels of Our Nature, the function of Christianity was to get men who were inclined to murder each other over dinner to stop with the chimpouts. But that only works when Christianity is applied to extremely violent, impulsive men. If you apply it to domesticated peasants it makes them pitiful cucks.

There are comparisons of the three American strongmen to that of Rome's original 1st Triumvirate.

- Trump = Pompey
- Elon = Crassus
- JD Vance = Caesar

But the Roman strongmen were actual war chieftains, they were much better men than a merchant->commander, a merchant->tech prophet, and a lawyer.

You need Trump's populist right for rank and file warriors. Trump inspires military and para-military recruitment (Pete Hegseth and Erik Prince).

You need Elon's tech right for hypersonic weapons and kill bots. Elon inspires the recruitment of tech priests (see the young man who AI decoded the Herculaneum scrolls).

#Trump #ElonMusk

Every long time GOP observer and loyalist knows that 'deficit reduction' is code for tax increases. Elon didn't get the memo.
Human civilization being much older than previously believed defocuses the middle east, which is why both monotheists and atheist kikes worry about it.
@DMA I refer to personality traits.

Europeans from 1000 AD would have responded to Rotherham by slaying every Muslim in England and expelling the kikes.
The CBO forgot to add the revenue from the Trump tariffs, when it made its financial calculation of the "Big Beautiful Bill."

Oops.
