Well first you need to define "won."

I want to see a reusable propulsive landing saturn 5

I know what you're talking about but I can't find it.
Anyone?

>MFW these same anons would be raging in the 60s about having Von Braun working on rockets

>Now you are strawmanning me as if I believed drumpf was anything but a grifter.
You brought up Biden first. You tried to spin Bradbury as a "new" transportation department head. You specifically mentioned trading groups tracking "new" cabinet appointments. It's *very* clear what your intentions and meanings were.

>He wasn't appointed in 2017 and was blocked by a single senator. Biden turned around and hired him for real he is the acting head of transportation and the boss of the FAA.
Sorry, I can't just let you get away with lying like this.
>On September 10, 2019, he was further authorized to perform the functions and duties of the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Transportation as the Acting Deputy Secretary.

>it is literally out in the open of people giving each other money and jobs and influence and rampant conflicts of interest.
If this is true, why was the NASA head of human spaceflight forced to "step down" when his ties to boeing became clear during a DOJ investigation?

This is what I mean. If this "open conspiracy" exists, why is the DOJ investigating these things? Shouldn't they be "in on it"? Your beliefs just simply do not align with reality, and only seem "plausible" when you look at cherry picked articles you found in 5 minutes of googling to confirm your biases.

No. Valuations like that can already be quite hard to determine, a magnitude moreso when dealing with space, and infinitely moreso than even that when dealing with something that could potentially and irrevocably revolutionize not just an industry, but potentially many industries and, in the best case scenario, could even be the next industrial revolution. Considering that SpaceX seems to not be encountering any show-stopping issues and Starship seems to be well on its way to becoming a real launch vehicle, I'd say that whatever their valuation is right now is almost certainly low-balling it, by how much is obviously near impossible to determine, however.

And where are the Soviets today?

von Braun was religious, so I'll respect his wishes and believe that he is looking down upon Elon

Alternatively we can assume that children have no souls until they're 6 years old, and von Braun's soul manifested in Elon

Please circle the parts on this picture you think thrust comes out of, and in a different color circle the parts that can be damaged by flying debris. I suspect you don't actually know which end the thrust comes out of if you're making this argument.

>Written by NASA Ames Research Center public-communications specialist Frank Tavares — along with a group of eleven co-authors including noted activists drawn from the fields of anthropology, ethics, philosophy, decolonial theory, and women’s studies — and supported by a list of 109 signatories, “Ethical Exploration and the Role of Planetary Protection in Disrupting Colonial Practices” lacks technical merit. It is, nevertheless of great clinical interest, as it brilliantly demonstrates how the ideologies responsible for the destruction of university liberal-arts education can be put to work to abort space exploration as well.

>With praiseworthy clarity as to their bias and intent, the EDIWG authors say that human space exploration must be stopped because it represents a continuation of the West’s tradition of resource development through free enterprise. “All of humanity is a stakeholder in how we, the planetary science and astrobiology community, engage with other worlds,” they say. “Violent colonial practices and structures — genocide, land appropriation, resource extraction, environmental devastation, and more — have governed exploration on Earth, and if not actively dismantled, will define the methodologies and mindsets we carry forward into space exploration. . . . It is critical that ethics and anticolonial practices are a central consideration of planetary protection. We must actively work to prevent capitalist extraction on other worlds, respect and preserve their environmental systems, and acknowledge the sovereignty and interconnectivity of all life.”

>The EDIWG authors are equally clear as to the means by which human space exploration and development can be stopped: the “planetary protection” bureaucracy.

Leftists, trannies, bureaucrats and social science majors should be ground up and used as propellant.

>"We have been given the scientific knowledge, the technical ability, and the materials to pursue the exploration of the universe. To ignore these great resources, would be a corruption of a God given ability."
Based as fuck.
