Pretty sure praising the boss publicly and stoking his ego is in the job description for any position in this administration.

And don’t forget the Chemtrails! You noticed they had them turned on even before they allegedly “launched”.

Seriously, congrats to SpaceX, Elon, NASA, the astronauts, and all the engineers and fabrication persons that worked on it!

The NASA administrator is a political appointee from the president. Of course he has to say good things about the president’s support. If he says one bad thing, he’s gone.

I will give Trump credit that this is one area that he has not screwed with. He has let NASA be and it has been successful. No matter how much he despises California...

Swing and a miss by most everyone. It was my lame attempt at humor, what people like "The View" will say Monday. "Trump had a total disregard for safety and wanted to stoke his ego and commanded the launch putting people's lives at risk due to storms in the area."

If I have to splain it , never mind. It was funnier after a few IPA's

Cheers

idk. Space force. Maybe it’s nice to not be reactionary every time and just get out in front.

Remember one time making a “clever” remark to a crusty Delta captain about Elon Musk and his PT Barnum act. Didn’t know the guy was a Tesla owner. Oops.

Gotta say, Musk appears to be an amazing guy. Who wakes up one morning and says “I think I’ll build rockets. For Space.”?

Then does it. Awesome.

Just want to add my congratulations as well to SpaceX, Elon, NASA and the test pilots Doug and Bob. It's been nearly 20 years since the last test pilots launched in a new space ship. And they named the capsule Endeavor after the shuttle that carried both Bob and Doug on their first launch. The whole family was watching and I gotta say I was a bit emotional at launch. It's a day I'll never forget.

P.S. The drone ship landings always cut out on the live feed during touchdown. The recordings are usually available in a day or two.

P.P.S. Dragon Docking Simulator
