Sure. But if NASA does it, we can spend a lot more, and employ people whose retirement and insurance we can pay for for life.

The thing most people don’t realize is that NASA has never actually built a rocket. Everything they have ever flown is contracted out. The only difference now is that instead of NASA paying numerous aerospace companies for piece work; they are paying a single supplier for both an entire vehicle and for the expertise to operate it.
And unlike NASA‘s past contacts, SPACEX works on fixed price contracts; not constantly increasing funding like had went to Boeing, McDonnal Douglas, et Al. Must better for taxpayers

Yes I know this. Take a look at my screen name. My house rattles when they launch.

Is launching satellites and trips to the space station a service that should be paid for or not?

You are trying to wiggle out of your initial argument by moving the goalposts. Why are you only mentioning launching satellites? Of course Musk should get paid for that service via a government contract. But he has received government subsidies and funding for plenty of other things just like the CHIPs Act offers. So why is is corporate welfare for TSMC but not for Musk?

I wouldn’t have used the word „pro“. I think he held his nose the whole time.
And as promised here is my answer to your question. No I don’t think Trump is pro Putin. Trump is always partly pro Trump and partly pro USA. Zelenskyy insulted both last week. There was no other possible outcome from Trump.
Incredibly stupid on Zelenskyy‘s part. You save the arguments for the back room talks. When it is time to sign the paperwork and pick up the check; you smile, shake hands, and wave at the camera.

Zelensky was responding to falsehoods being said and repeated by Trump and Vance there I'm front of the press. You expect him to just sit there while Trump lies out his arse over and over again about the basic facts of the situation ?

If the roles were reversed you'd be applauding Trump for standing up to lies.

Trump is a liar. It's so ridiculous at this point it's hard to understand why people are celebrating it.

If Musk companies took subsidies, tax incentives ext then they too have taken corporate welfare which I thought was frowned upon by liberals. Why are you celebrating it?

Yes, the beggar needs to keep his mouth shut and take whatever handout he’s getting or go elsewhere for help.

Reminds me of something Hillary once said about criticizing china


Hillary Clinton revealed America's deep anxiety over China's growing economic power and hold on US finances by asking Australia's then prime minister: "How do you deal toughly with your banker?"
