Not sure he really cares about the country - but I guess you can be glad.
He cares about freedom and the spark of consciousness, of which he requires a foundation of a strong and free country; maybe you're being perfectionistic, e.g. The Selfish Gene?

It's not groundbreaking but it's important. They are demonstrating in orbit relight capability of the raptor engines. This is an absolute requirement before they can put it fully into orbit because losing control of a Starship in low earth orbit would be catastrophic.
> because losing control of a Starship in low earth orbit would be catastrophic Why? Remote detonation wouldn't work in that case?
If you did this to a Starship in orbit, you'd likely have large chunks of steel reentering and reaching the ground intact.

#33Note that there will not be an official livestream on Youtube. Every time there are some people who fall for scammers pretending to be one and end up listening to an AI impersonation of Elon Musk try to sell them cryptocoins, missing the real launch. If you must watch on youtube, NSF or Everyday Astronaut typically have good (unofficial) livestreams.
Considering how long those videos have been allowed on YouTube, you have to wonder... https://mashable.com/article/fake-elon-musk-crypto-scam-yout...
I recently reported a bunch of the SpaceX ones that were running for long time. Nothing happened. I think Google/Alphabet is just happy with the extra ad views.
This aspect needs regulation.

Musk is an egotistical megalomaniac. To even think of his ego in any positive light makes the problem with you.
Calling someone a pedophile because they wouldn't use his submarine is just an example.
