JAXA's gonna surprise everyone with satellites that can Izuna Drop other satellites.

True, but it is if you have health issues and need someone to come with you. Chronic pain makes that long of a trip have ramifications felt for at least a week, plus I try not to drive more than an hr without another adult who can drive because I have episodes where I get really sleepy and it's dangerous. Typically after a meal, but not always. I've read it's either to do with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or MCAS, I forget which. Something where your blood sugar spikes, then over corrects or something and you get hit with what I call "the sleeps". I can usually hold it at bay for 20 to 30 mins but that's it. But I do see where you are coming from. For most folks it wouldn't be too big of a thing, i just dont think we could.

I thought it was from the TV show Space Force. They also did that.

That’s a great fuckin’ idea…

Last I checked modern rifles contain an oxidizer, so they already do?

What about the conduct of the CCP makes you think they do well working in collaborations?

Call it $1,000 per lbs to send up. It’s going to cost the taxpayers.

USA be like: "space is for peace faring nations"

Also USA: let's blow some shit up in space, guys.

It is closest during Feb 2nd. Try going to local star gazing group. Most of them are really nice people and will actually be thrilled to show others all the stuff

No, Mr.ccp, that is unacceptable.

Tom Mueller, lead propulsion engineer at SpaceX during the development of the Falcon 9 says you’re wrong. I’m going to believe him.

Or we should have let them joint the ISS when they asked, now they have their own space station.

Do you have a local observatory? Ours is free to the public.

Are these satellites that move other satellites? It might be useful to have a few up there to move things on short notice.

We have a used everything store, they sell used binoculars and telescopes, and everything else. Ours is called Grey Bears, you might have the equivalent.

Lol the terminator is going to shine a light bulb at me!

Seriously though, plasma weapons will remain firmly in the realm of science fiction. As soon as plasma is introduced to a STP environment, it expands to fill the available volume and becomes a regular gas again. Kind of hard to shoot someone with that.

Soooooo, how do they advance without money? Pretty difficult. So, I would say he's done alot.

It makes me happy to see comment sections on this subreddit go against the grain when it comes to most of Reddit about Elon Musk. Most of the time people get tunnel vision and won’t allow themselves to admit or acknowledge the amazing things SpaceX is doing due to their emotional attachment of hatred for Elon Musk (although much of his criticism is well deserved)
