I’m just a bit miffed that they didn’t launch from Mojave like respectable space pirates.

Though the Kármán line thing sort of cuts to the core of the current space(ish)flight phenomenon.
Branson’s cute folding flyer tops out at 80 km, well below the 100 km level defined as the start of space and named for a Hungarian-American pioneer of aerodynamics. In fact it barely reaches the old definitive mark of fifty miles.

Bezos went for an old-school brute-force approach. But at least his vehicle crosses the Line.

Im betting that Musk is sitting at his desk, rubbing his hands in glee contemplating the surprise rollout of an eighty-passenger Starship that can carry customers cheaper per seat than either competitor, and to actual orbit.

I would expect hideously priced gelatinized cocktails with cutesy space-themed names. Heck they could serve weird cool drugs as long as they’re above national airspace.

I was just thinking to myself... Dogs would be better if they could purr like a cat.

Such tentative entry into the realm of unreality. I grab it by the ears and imagine a talking dog.

You’re either fucking the hole in the barrel, or it’s your turn inside the barrel…..

Now I’m really not following. Starting from a Muskmobile full of oohing Midwesterners drinking gelatin shots in zero g, how did we get to straws and barrels?

Musk is so firmly attached to the government teat I doubt that very much. I think the advance will come from outside.

In that case, the current space flurry is imo a bellwether. I think we will see the next big player soon.

Hors d'oeuvres anyone?

Proof of concept and a great way to work up funding from the richer class to begin moving our industry to space.

No, we need more moons and they really need to get on it.

What’s up fam. Well after 7yrs and a couple failed attempts at leaving, these mofos done it this time. My PTO for next month was denied because they can’t cover 2 of the days. That’s not sitting well with me.

PTO prepare the others
