Who’s the bigger a$$hole, Elon or Donny?
Magalardo Mussolini is basically a narcissistic self-serving blunderbuss of bullshit, Elon is likewise, but a real rich guy with the power and influence money and business connections afford, a true fascist would-be tyrannical dictator. He's also younger and has more time to establish his program. M-M opened the door to his opportunity.

Revisiting the Strategic Defense Initiative.

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2023...s%20in%20space.

The Soviets really feared the implications of the SDI (derisively called "Star Wars"). They felt that it would increase tremendously the technological gap between them and the US leading to the possibility of a relatively successful first-strike capability on the part of the US.

It seems SDI is still with us and the Russians and the Chinese are really worried ...they do not have the lift magnitude of a SpaceX. (Post #1 in this thread indicates the huge disparity.)

I thought your media sources claim our forces under Biden are weak, feckless girly men?

Well Elon lost in trying to have his case in Philadelphia for him attempting to buy votes for Trump moved to Federal Court, and his case starts on the 4th.

Nobody is above the law, hope Elon loses bigly.

Nasa should get the funding to handle the projects now done by Space X, take back control of this important area.

Musk Said $1 Million Lottery Would Be Random. His Lawyers Say It’s Not
https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...ia-1235152689/

So, he's a liar, like his buddy Donny. Not a surprise that our resident Pootin lover has the hots for him, too.

Any unbiased observer can see that SpaceX is far, far, far ahead of any other organization.
One may not like Elon but SpaceX's accomplishments are stellar. The bureaucracies cannot compete.

Thus lending credence to Chick's observation.

America did it well before without SpaceX and can do it again without SpaceX.

Musk's communications with Putin must be investigated, we all know Musk has been promoting Putin's agenda around Ukraine, something stinks, and It's a musky stink.
