The South Pole is more habitable than Mars.
Call me when we set up a permanent settlement there....would be good "practice".
Maybe a 2-5 yr stint you can sign up for.

Spacex has saved the American taxpayers billions of dollars via low cost space flight.
Spacex is a success because it is a private company.
SpaceX gets billion from the government. They get billions from investors. They have been operating in the red for their entire existence.

So does Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, ULA, General Dynamics, and every other company in the defense and space industry.
These companies offer something the government is interested in.

Both the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle were built by private companies. Exactly the same as SLS now.
Elon Musk and SpaceX are rocking it. I know, I know, I should be hanged around here for saying such a thing.
A favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing again.
Meanwhile ULA's Vulcan delayed, Boeing's Starliner still hasn't launched with crew, Blue Origin yet to achieve orbit, and now Amazon is asking SpaceX to launch Kuiper satellites because Blue Origin's rocket isn't ready to fly.
Very unfair of Elon to organize the creation of so much wealth.
Very.
Huh?
All I'd stated was that he 2nd launch wasn't going to be anywhere close to "6 months out".
And no waiver should be granted here, unless the environmental impacts are evaluated fully.
You also said the environment was ‘destroyed’ and getting approval for another launch would be impossible, lawsuits, yada yada. Guess the federal agencies disagree with your take.
Enjoy the launches while SpaceX works to push humanity forward.
That's very cool but major Tom dies in that song. I noticed he skipped that part.
9 explosions. Man, I am pumped!
"impossible"?
Don't recall making that claim. Unless you're referring to "another launch w/o the proper blast protections" that would spread debris for miles from the launch site and pollute sensitive wetlands.
Jesus, Joe- Don’t you ever get tired of being a complete Moran when it comes to space exploration?
When a US contractor violates their contract and sides with a geopolitical adversary, it's time for them to go.
Booster got close to landing. Landing burn started before it lost control.
That was cool watching the flaps on descent. You could see where it tried to correct and started rotating quickly back and forth as it lost control. Very awesome show this morning.
