    2. No, I don't envy Elon Musk at all, he is a horrible person. He bought SpaceX and Tesla using profits from his father's emerald mine in apartheid South Africa. He is a successful and lucky business man, who bought companies and then he promoted them. He is a good promoter.

    1. The difference between launch pad and low earth orbit is several orders of magnitude beyond what NASA can currently accomplish.

  6. Elon pays a bunch of Indian and Chinese engineers to rescue the Astronauts. Now pay them to do Mars.

    There. I fixed the title for you.

    Don't tell me now that you thought it was a bunch of white dudes designing and building those rockets! Elon thinks that you are all too stupid to train. Elon wants all his H1-Bs so that he doesn't have to hire you or your mouth breathing kids!

    Have you ever seen a Space X recruiting table at a MAGA rally? I have seen them at Stanford, UCLA and Caltech. You know those liberal hell holes where liberties go to die...
