Who else is catching rockets, or landing and reusing them? Boeing can’t even get their traditional rocket to work.

I don’t understand why people let their political leanings affect their view of everything. Space X is doing astonishing things, who cares if their CEO has different political leanings than you do.

 

once again. It’s not rockets, it was one rocket. Boeing rocket worked just fine. Even went around the moon! You must be talking about Starliner. The capsule that has been to orbit several times and came back in one piece. Starship has never made orbital velocity and is making great artificial reefs in the Indian Ocean.

 

Space-x has landed and reflown rockets hundreds of times. Last time I looked, hundreds was more than 1.

 

Yeah the Boeing Space team is thinking, “We’ve got Space X right where we want them”.

Starship made orbital velocity March 14 2024.

Let me make sure I understand your thinking: Space X catching Apollo size booster 1 out of 2 attempts….doesn’t count. Boeing Capsule deemed unsafe for human re entry….works fine.

Do you work for Boeing or just REALLY hate Elon?

Good thing the Astronauts can ride back on Soace X’s capsule.

I don’t own anything Elon sells or plan on buying anything, but I can recognize that Space X is crushing it compared to everyone else in the Space Industry.

 

I live in one of 8 neighboring house districts that voted Republican since the 1930’s that swung to Democratic control in 2018 and haven’t looked back (except for 1 district in 1 election). The reason? Trump and TCJA raised their taxes significantly.

The Democratic passed IRA increased 2022 proposed increasing the SALT cap from 10k to 80k per year, which would have cut taxes for many middle and upper middle class people who saw their taxes increase under TCJA. Double taxation is wrong. Unfortunately 1 senator was able to change that. Good riddance Joe Manchin. Don’t let the door hit you in the *** on the way out!

If Republicans are able to pass tax reform in 2025 that removes or substantially raises the SALT cap, then I will be back to voting for the party I most align with (The GOP). Until then, I’m still voting Democrat.

Republicans have 220-215 seat majority in the house this congress. That is the slimmest house majority in history. In an election that was supposedly a landslide mandate for the GOP. It will get as low as 217-215 with Gaetz resigning and 2 others taking positions in the new administration. If TCJA didn’t implement a SALT cap, I suspect Republicans would have won by much larger margins in the house as they did in the senate and for the president.

 

yes, but that’s not what he said. He said “caught”. They have only caught a rocket once. Once is less than hundreds.

 

what? Boeing is doing their thing SpaceX is doing theirs.

Nice try on Starship making orbital velocity. I see you don’t understand basic rocket science. Making Orbital Velocity without an orbital trajectory doesn’t count. It’s like being over the line in bowling.

I don’t dislike Musk. I dislike fanboys that make stuff out to be something it isn’t. It’s the bureaucracy that Musks hates that has 2 astronauts still in space. They would have come home on Starliner if they were allowed. They have said they knew it was fine, but it wasn’t their decision. Now they get even more time in space because SpaceX is delayed. Guess they aren’t as percent as you think.

so you have shirtless pictures of Musk hanging in your room?

 

Except when he said landing and reusing them… the post to which you were replying.

 

That’s a nice thought, except that the CRS has already done the math. Shifting the federal tax burden to lower income filers and low-SALT areas probably is never going to happen. Better to focus on decreasing the spending of your local and state governments.

 

Why should you get a tax break just because your state has high taxes? The rest of us from normal states get the standard deduction just like you. Perhaps you should spend your time trying to get your state to stop spending and taxing like a drunken sailor (no offense to drunken sailors).
