This is my public profile. I can write something about myself!

If it were just him, he would be removed from office. It's also all the people who voted for him and continue to support him.

Test flight ended in an explosion.

"It's not rocket science" means it's not as complicated as rocket science. Because rocket science is complicated and getting things to orbit is hard. Getting things to orbit that can be reused nicely is even harder. SpaceX is the first to try. Surprise, it's not going to work without any setbacks.

SpaceX has saved NASA billions by offering cheaper launches than the competition. As biggest example, NASA saved about $3 billion from launching Europa Clipper on Falcon Heavy instead of SLS.

Are you sure that was Flint?

Why would it matter if a contract is awarded by the Space Force instead of the same contract coming from USAF?

ULA launched Vulcan twice since January 2024. Delta is retired and all remaining Atlas launches are booked out. They did get the second-largest contract, slightly behind SpaceX.

What the heck are you talking about. SpaceX is actually doing innovative things in rocketry, which made them completely dominate the launch sector. Without them, the US would still have to buy crew launches from Russia (really awkward) and couldn't get their military satellites launched in time (also awkward).

They would have gotten the same with Harris as president. SpaceX is the only company with a rocket that flies regularly, so obviously they get the largest share of launches. Per launch, they are cheaper than the competition as well.

Something like 0.5% lifetime chance to get a brain tumor. If they have 50 people on that floor then we get a 1 in 150,000 chance of 5 brain tumors on this specific hospital floor. With the large number of cancer types, hospitals and so on, we expect these things to happen by chance. Still worth checking in more detail.

It's contracts. Do you launch satellites for NASA regularly?

Yes, they are contracts. For some reason it's outrageous that companies get paid for delivering services now. SpaceX is consistently cheaper than the competition. The government saves billions from its existence.

Compare the bids for any launch you want. SpaceX is consistently cheaper than the competition. It has saved the US government well over 10 billions at this point.

Sometimes numerical answers demonstrate the existence of something. A statement like "5452623 is an odd perfect number" would be a huge mathematical breakthrough, demonstrating that odd perfect numbers exist at all. Similarly, the Riemann hypothesis could be disproven with a counterexample.

Uranium is only very mildly radioactive. It's more dangerous chemically as heavy metal. If you don't get it into your body then there isn't too much to worry about.

Counterclockwise: Mountain, no railing, cable railing, a corner with steel railing.

It was obviously a joke. Not a good one, but still a joke.

The Russians already sent up an actress and a director for the movie "The Challenge" (to be released later this year I think).

NASA gets a lot of money for it, and guests help with some research tasks as well.

3 failed landings in the last 45 attempts (2019+).

It's probably an old aluminium one. The titanium fins are still in use.

The power to suspend accounts that violate its policies? They always had that, it's just the first time they apply their policies to POTUS.

From the runway. Don't ask me how, but the pilots reported that.

Indeed. Cases per person would be more interesting. Positivity rate is obviously low with regular tests.

I do see a point of not removing it completely. It's a tweet of larger public interest. Show the people what shit their president does.

A woman wanted to buy more toilet paper than the limit set by the supermarket, then blocked the check-out counter, police took her away.
