AOC - Tax the Rich

you didn't build that Disney Ride to space without out infrastructure.
Did you know that to send one Starship beyond a low orbit requires that it refuel in orbit to the tune of 1200 tons?
That’s fourteen additional launches of robot tanker Starships for ONE mission to the moon flying the planned “direct ascent” flight plan. Starship plus booster is pretty, but not a viable architecture for anything but heavy lift to LEO. Eeyore is overselling this vehicle.

hence my comment. i would have interest in the ROI but you know billionaires and they're toys:wink:
 
It is especially rich from someone who fortune is being built on the back of federal government subsidies.

perhaps we should invest in this planet first?

“My plan,” the SpaceX founder tweeted Thursday about his fortune, “is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness.”

i can't even stand reading his arrogance.

Our future is not on planets.
