We don’t repeal citizenship on such flimsy grounds for anyone. The solution is to amend the law to include a statute of limitations on repealing citizenship.

Yup, and announcing this today is the ultimate victory lap.

Obama space policy was ok though. I think Biden was great in every other respect, but his space policy is a clear step back from Trump's.

To his detriment, he didn’t kill Artemis and replace it with something workable.

He's always been all-in on the winning candidate. His whole business is getting government subsidies. His single principle is sucking up to people in power. He loved Obama when he was in power, too. Proud to say I've found that asshole annoying since WAY before it was cool.
SpaceX did get government contracts, but not subsidies, and saved NASA and US Taxpayers lots of money.

Err he's South African, probably shouldn't even be in the US if judged by the same standards as any other immigrant, Cybercab is a shit show and the campaign support was the sort of thing we'd expect from a Russian oligarch. If you're going to give anyone credit, the thousands of SpaceX staff who keep this thing on the rails are who need some love. Edit: so by the downvotes I would assume that people are happy to vio…
And they wouldn't work there if musk wouldn't fork tons of money and wouldn't aspire to the highest possible standard...
No musk fan here. He is an idiot, but probably a useful one.

> because losing control of a Starship in low earth orbit would be catastrophic Why? Remote detonation wouldn't work in that case?
Detonating something in orbit could trigger Kessler's Syndrome.

Unlikely in general, no at LEO and definitely not at the suborbital velocities IFT-6 contemplates.

Can you expand on that? Biden's space policy was remarkably and suprisingly similar to Trump's. A little bit more money for planetary science, and that's about it AFAICT.

There are plenty of engineers that won't work there because of Musk. Being divisive and unpredictable is not a good characteristic and not how you run a business.
Basically there are better ways without making the sacrifices that have been and will be made.

Well, Trump aspires to be America's Putin, so that checks out...
