    The inability to understand something does not refute it.

    Not against space exploration, but not a big fan either.
    Like any government obsession, budgets get out of hand.
    I’ll take a look at the schedule. Wouldn’t mind driving over for a nasa launch, but not interested in anything muck

    How much does the goobermint pay for a private company to launch a private cargo?
    The cost ISN'T zero considering you have range control, NOTAMs, and the usual yada-yada.

    Considering our economic enemies are going full tilt, boogedy boogedy at the same thing - what's the cost NOT to?

    Just because you claim that it is possible and necessary doesn’t mean…
