mikegarrison Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Color me completely unsurprised that Musk has a history of donating to Republicans, but those are pretty small numbers compared to what big donors kick in (and also compared to his net worth).

He has a history of donating to Democrats as well, it simply didn't fit the agenda the mails were pushing so it was omitted. About every large company has a history of donating to both parties at the same time, usually with a focus to the one currently in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 So, still neither BE-4, nor Raptor are applicable for the real spaceflights unlike the modified RD-170 from Energy, aka RD-180s for Atlas-5.and Antares. Sad, very sad to see. Happily, Angara can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Keep it on-topic, please. And if somebody annoys you, please set that person to ignore rather than clutter up threads with posts telling that person not to clutter up threads. A number of posts have been removed.

Lewie Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 My best friend’s dad worked on landsat9, and he’s down in Cali today to watch the launch. The two of us (his dad and I) geek out over space a lot, my friend however....he doesn’t quite get it. He likes to drive his dad crazy by calling the solar panels ‘solar wings’ and asking if the sat stays in orbit by flapping its ‘wings’. Heh.

At least his dad has a buddy with whom he can wax poetically about space. When I'm geeking over something awesome and space related, my family usually tells me to keep it down and not yell too loud. Hmph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
