I love all the extra protein I’m getting on these bike rides (swarms of gnats injected into the throat and lungs)

Data centers are our generation's version of nuclear power in that they seem to be supported by anybody with any brains and are exclusively hated by the most self-satisfied, uncurious retards alive.

SpaceX has landed orbital-class rocket boosters more than 670 times, while the rest of the world combined is still below 5 This is how far ahead SpaceX is on rocket reuse SpaceX: • 670+ orbital-class booster landings • One Falcon 9 booster has flown 37 missions Every other company and country on Earth combined: Fewer than 5 successful orbital booster recoveries SpaceX first landed a Falcon 9 booster in 2015 Meanwhile, the rest of the launch industry is only now reaching where SpaceX was more than a decade ago Once, landing a rocket was considered impossible Now, it's so routine it barely feels like an event

OK let’s imagine that! $500M would fund Medicare for exactly 4 hours. Hospital closed by lunch. Medicare costs us $1.2T a year. Thats $2.7B per day. You people literally have no clue how anything works. You elect people who are financially illiterate, and everything gets worse.
Imagine if Elon's $500 million had been spent on education or healthcare. Or the arts. Anything.

Apollo should never represent the upper limit of what @NASA can achieve. It should be a standard we continuously strive to exceed. We’re bringing that intensity, discipline, and engineering ownership back to this agency. Great nations do not remain great by being caretakers of history, but by continuously making history.
