I don't get your comment. Feels like a disclaimer "Yes I know Musk is bad and I'm not bad, see I'm not bad because I mention Musk is bad, I'm not one of them . That being said it was a nice rocket launch" Are you doing this on all topics related to Musk?

Musk has many issues, but what is the point of bringing his grudge with Trans? The rocket is a great success and in the grand scale of things is worth the ego grandstanding. The man has done nothing illegal and has accomplished a lot amazing things. Congrats to SpaceX, Elon, the Americans and Humanity. What good is freedom of thought and speech if one cannot exercise it? I probably drank the old american koolaid and…

The new koolaid is "I can say dumb things and if anybody calls me on it, I'm being oppressed." That has nothing to do with freedom of speech, there's no government here.

What does this mean?
It looked just like a regular launch in Kerbal Space Program at the end.
