Comment Re:I take it you don't read the Bible either (Score 1) 105

Leviticus was written by George Washington shortly after he wrote the declaration of Independence.

After migrating to the U.S. and stopping on Manhattan Island at the (future) site of the twin towers to dedicate the (future) U.S. to the Lord as the new Israel. Thereby making (White) Americans the new Chosen People of God.

I'm pretty certain an electric motorcycle will be at least as dangerous as a gas one.

Not really. You can hear the horns of traffic warning you. You don't incite road rage with the roaring of your motor. You also don't wake up your neighbours at 3 in the morning revving your engine just to be an ass one time too many while they have a gun.

PLUS, we've spent $93 Billion on Artemis and still no cigar. Is Mars gonna be that much cheaper?

It takes talent to repackage 1970s shuttle technology and take so long and blow through so much money making the Senate Launch System. Too bad it was wasted turning the SLS into a pork barrel boondoggle.

They want to continually ask for funding to make the trains run on time, provided via taxpayer dollars, while never quite making the trains run on time, so that they can be justified in constantly asking for more funding to make the trains run on time.

Do you understand that making the trains run takes money constantly? So does making them continue to run on time take money constantly. Sort of how just buying you a meal doesn't feed you for life (unless you immediately die of course) but you constantly need to buy food or things to use to grow food.

Amazon just paid rack rate for an Atlas V (and, worse, there aren't any more Atlas Vs to launch on!)

It doesn't look like ULA has any more Kuiper launches likely to happen this year. The same for Blue Origin. Not able to find out when Ariane 6 will carry any. Falcon 9 is scheduled to take a load in June then nothing till next year. Looks like the claims that Amazon is building them at a snails pace may be accurate. If they don't accelerate they will have 7 months to launch 1500 satellites (~60 launches unless Starship is usable and available to Amazon).
