There was a blip on the news about the possibility that the mission involved growing food in space. Yeah, right. OK Boomer.

We are still in the infancy of space travel.

Within most of our lifetimes, we will see thousands of spaceflights daily. Commercial and private. As well as recreational. A regular person will be able to buy a ticket and take an excursion around the solar system for about the cost of a three day weekend in Las Vegas.

If a boy wants to impress a girl on a first date, he can rent a spacecraft and take her for a picnic on the moon.

It has probably been tasked with finding some as-yet unarrested J6 bystanders.

"Are you off ur meds again"

And you probably don't believe Biden threatened gun owners with F-15's and nukes, BUT HE HAS AND MORE THAN ONCE.

It’s quite a ponder considering how Elon and our government are seemingly at opposite poles. But they are in unison on having all of us using electric vehicles.

If not for that project’s batteries rapidly using up rare mineral resources for an an untenable ideal at the expense of child slave labor I’d be all for it.

You pay for them to keep secrets from you.

This is worse than a cheating wife!

Pretty much. Especially since they will send out goons to kill me if I don't.

But they aren’t showing the classified cargo pod in that picture (not really the pod that is classified but what’s in it and attached to it. It does or did have a non-classified cubesat attached to it this trip).
