“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred. A fully reusable vehicle has never been done before. That really is the fundamental breakthrough needed to revolutionize access to space.”

--Elon Musk

You misunderstand(?) - I was challenging a silly poster to back up their assertion that Musk was using Tesla subsidy money to fund SpaceX.

(You are correct, of course!)

Have a great day!

:-)

It is not I who have the small mind. The universe can be (IS) vast, almost beyond human comprehension, and yet I am still God’s special creation. I’m also a dyed-in-the-wool Missouri Synod Lutheran, and this is one of my favorite tunes:

(Not exactly “typical Lutheran” fare, but it gets a good point across!)

As for this discussion, what’s next? Are you going to deny there are presently ~7,632,819,325 humans on Earth? Does that “vast” number (it’s pretty big!!) somehow limit how God sees me, or you? Am I less special to God than a person was when humans numbered only a few? How can I be “special” in God’s eyes out of nearly 8 billion humans?

The answer: God transcends time, numbers, and space. God’s relationship to me is unchanged, regardless of how big the Universe is...

Yeah, I just answered another who I am sure is a very decent, wonderful person who only wants the best for others — but is a bit _______ [fill in the blank yourself].

Interesting question.

Does not come close to a billion.

(I know that some have move than 100000.)

No intention to offend you. I am simply professing the Gospel and praying that a few more might be saved.

Some of our lost brothers and sisters do not see as you do. They need a word of encouragement.

Blessings to you and your loved ones,

Dan :-)

Musk actually netted a little over $20 million from ZIP2 before Paypal.

Oh really smart guy? Name me someone who worked for SpaceX and has “flipped?” It’s real, get over it, all you deserve is ridicule because there’s no amount of evidence that will ever convince you that you’re wrong.

“SpaceX is a propaganda agency exempt from FOIA requests (that is why it exists).”

SpaceX is a private aerospace company, the government did not create it. You need professional mental help. You’re another one of those space denying freepers who need to be banned for life.

An opinion is not an offense. It is protected by the First Amendment.

I am not disparaging anyone. You do not have to read what I have written.

I will support your right to the freedom of speech. I suggest that you should do the same for me, whether we agree or not.

Our common enemy loves to divide and conquer by pitting us against one another.

Think clearly.

If you do not, you will find yourself falling into the camp of “How can you even think that?”

That, my friend, leads to the opposite of a Free Republic.

Blessings to you and your loved ones,

Dan :-)

This is Free Republic, we do not have to abide by the first amendment, it’s a private website, that’s why we ban DUmmies from the site. You are a black mark on this site and make conservatives look like psychotic conspiracy theorists. You disparaged all of SpaceX and anyone who has independent confirmation that their missions are real. You need to be stopped.
