    SpaceX: (see video above)

  2. Inventor’s lore places Thomas Edison and his lightbulb as the gold standard for not giving up in the face of failure. He famously said that the ultimate failure was how close many investors came to getting it right before quitting. But Musk and his SpaceX is on par. More than once, the next mission was make or break and his vision, passion, and dogged determination in the face of failure prompted those around him to do the impossible.

  3. Andrew Breitbart famously said, “Politics is downstream from culture.”

    Musk is breaking all the rulz and doing exactly what his loser detractors have said cannot be done. Musk is the man of a generation and thank God he chose to make the U.S. his home. Now he has teamed up with another man of a generation, Donald John Trump.

    The big question for this election should be: “Who would you rather have on your team? Trump and Musk or Kamala and Tim?” Game over.

    (As I drive around Seattle these days, I am filled with both pity and contempt for all the weird-os who are sporting “Harris/Walz” lawn signs. It’s hard to imagine anyone so completely ignorant about our country’s reality, they would actually vote for more of it. P.S. There are so very few of those signs, thankfully.)

  4. “P.S. There are so very few of those signs, thankfully.)”

    Come to the Bay Area, they are in the front yards of every third house.

    The absolute worst was the sign I saw the other day that said something akin to ,”If you believe in the freedoms our founders intended, Vote Harris”. The irony smacked me like a Mike Tyson left hook. This woman hates free speech, gun rights, unfettered media, law and order, accountability and our entire immigration system. She is the “anti-rights” candidate.

  5. @Rich – my lefty cousin just posted something that said Musk and Murdoch control the news people get. I asked, ‘What about Bezos and Soros?’ Besides which Musk allows any speech on X, and has democratic Community Notes to monitor.

  6. Musk shows What genious is capable of – without government involvement.

    The technology in the Teslas is amazing – but I can’t go for all electric – Hybrid yes, all electric, no.

  7. Remember the late 60’s and early 70’s when everyone would stop everything to watch an Apollo launch or landing? We’re headed toward that excitement again.
    The amount of engineering and technology required to do this in almost incomprehensible. Hundreds of Sensors, thrusters, algorithms…. Amazing!

  8. Man these people need to take a pill or something. Let’s now get too exuberant in cheering on Elon. He also is involved in the AI Governance Alliance. Maybe his “We Robots” will be benevolent overseers. After all Elon said there was an 80% chance they would be “good robots”.

  9. @ DaveVA

    Elon is warning people about it at the same time. So it’s not like he’s being dumb about it pretending it isn’t a real threat to humanity. There’s even a vid out with him explaining The Terminator’s parallel to the problem with AI.

    In my part of Dallas, there is 10-1 ratios of Kamala vs Trump signs in yards.

    One would think everyone is for Kammie, except we all know the left is violent towards the right – so Trump signs are a risk.

    Which leads to an idea I think would be funny and effective – have a bunch of pro Trump bumper stickers and slap them on obviously lefty vehicles next time they start rioting. Which will probably be within 24 hrs of his landslide election.

    The owners might not ever notice them until they are putting the fire out because they have so many stupid stickers on them declaring their souls to the world.

  11. God showing off His awesome design and science, using Musk to do it.

    BTW, NASA has the nerve to jump on the bandwagon of SpaceX’s success after attempting to obstruct their every move. Typical statist move.

  12. Fluke, how many crashed before? How many in the future? Taking out the launch pad next time has better odds. Of course Musk-melon head is just an accident waitin to happen. His design, WTF bullshit claim. Design TEAM. Musk tain’t no rocket scientist. Now, stealing other people’s ideas, thats what he is good at.
