You guys know Elon isn’t a billionaire without the government “ subsidizing funds” to him. Which is your tax money. Which he doesn’t get taxed on.
NET is Jan 13th 2200 UTC but a few hours ago Mexico ACC posted NOTAMs for the Gulf starting on Jan 14th 2200 UTC which means another 24hr push if it pans out.
New Glenn is also being pushed to the right by weather, now NET Jan 12th 0600 UTC
Best wishes to the designers, engineers and laborers at SpaceX!
Elon and Bezos should sync the launches and make it a real SPACE RACE!
Soooo…they are going to try and put a few things into sub-orbit and reuse an engine and thats about it? Seems like a very small step considering the other problems they still need to fix.
