Meanwhile,
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Yep that is exactly what I'm saying. Thank you for putting it in clear terms for me so that the audience can see my point.Hastur wrote:

SpaceX Launch Pad Explosion
The ashy clouds were coming from Cape Canaveral. The only time you want to see smoke wafting from that vicinity, the site of historic space launches, is after a successful liftoff—and there were no rockets in the sky that day.
The smoke turned out to be from a failed test of a SpaceX spacecraft designed to carry humans to orbit. Strapped to a test stand so it couldn’t fly away, the capsule had ignited its engines.

Few advancements occur without setbacks.
Taxes maybe. They seem to advance without ever going backwards. Can’t think of many other examples.

Re: Space X Launch (Crony Capitalism At Work)
Musk seems to have set up himself and Space X for life with that partnership, and will probably become a partner of other countries' space agencies soon enough. Have heard nothing about Virgin Galactic or other competitors in the media for...forever, it seems.
