The problem is for so many others space is just a routine, a job to do. A job to do well just enough to not get fired.

But for Musk space is not just some by the numbers drudgery. It his is passion. And he is having fun. That is why he succeeds where the bureaucrats fail. He has vision, passion and really enjoys this.

If we want NASA to be better maybe we need fewer jaded career bureaucrats and more people with vision and passion involved in running it.

Sanity is overrated.


Very true. Genius is rarely sane.

Novus America represents my vision of an awesome Atompunk near future United States of America expanded to the entire North American continent, Guyana and the Philippines. The population would be around 700 million.

Politically I am an independent. I support what is good for the country, which means I cannot support either party.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

The launch got delayed twice in a row because of 2 consecutive tropical cyclones. And it's not hurricane season yet!

Not exactly consecutive. I’m pretty sure Tropical Storms ARTHUR (01L) and BERTHA (02L) were like a week apart.

Nonetheless, 2 May storms is a tied record
