I’ve heard that SpaceX is heavily funded by the Federal govt., and that the founder is a big Obama supporter.

Spacex and Blue Origin have received a contract to develop launch capability to resupply the ISS. For some reason, SpaceX gets a lot of hate on FR for this, while Blue Origin does not. Nor does Northrop Grumman or the United Launch Alliance when they launch vehicles for the government.

“Information, please. I’ve heard that SpaceX is heavily funded by the Federal govt., and that the founder is a big Obama supporter. “

Elon Musk is African American. What do you expect?

He’s African American in the same literal way that Theresa Heinz Kerry is.

The guy is a genius. Good luck to him!
