    Boo-Yah for the great American Private Sector! All we have to to is get government to the size where we can drown it, and Business will take care of everything and do it more efficiently for less money, puh-raise JEE-zuz-ah!

    And yes, that was snark.

      This was a test run not too far from the real launch. This was not one of those launches where they expected a massive explosion from testing.

        Does anyone expect an unplanned rapid disassembly?

        You pay people more and keep them working at their best by providing them with robuat benefits, time off, and job/financial security so they can account for, plan, and mitigate shit like this.

        But noooo, layoffs, and “don’t tax me more, 40% of fed tax is payed by 1% of earners, which I’m not cause my income is 80K suckers! Work fast, break things, die faster slaves.”

      If we killed all billionaires now, only more would rise in their place. We need to fix the system that bred these people.

        So you’re saying if we keep killing bilionaires, eventually everyone will be a billionaire?

        When i see bezos and musk, specifically those two fucks, I don’t see any problem in them flying to apace on Spaceship or New Glenn.

        Just imagine burning bezos flying through the air in a livestream. I would pay to watch that!

      Yeah. Except his isn’t as famous as SpaceX. And their progress is rather unimpressive considering both companies are active more or less same amount of time

      Been messing around for a while. He built a cock rocket amusement ride for the rich.

      Here’s Bozo being an ass to Captain Kirk after their ride together:

      They forgot to tap the side of the rocket to settle the fizz before opening it.

    I don’t understand how they’re allowed to pollute like this.

    I don’t give a shit what purpose the rocket was supposed to have. It’s not worth it.

      They’re not. They’ll be fined several thousands of dollars. Bezos will cry as he writes such an enormous check.

        To a politician to make the charges go away. Tears of joy.

        While I agree the industry is under-regulated, spaceflight has been a massive benefit for humanity. Earth would not be able to grow half the food it does now. Global communication and logistics would be significantly more unreliable and expensive. Even down to simple things like cellphones would not work without GPS.

        Spaceflight is not the problem. Unregulated bilionaires and corporations are.
