Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh, it's increasingly looking like SpaceX will bail the astronauts out and bring them home. Boeing is a fucking failure of a company. That it's so intertwined with the criminality of the American state is just
Yeah, you know you suck when the dude who built the Cybertruck has to save you
The big difference between SpaceX and Tesla is that SpaceX has to perform to NASA technical and safety requirements. They can't just shit out crap hardware because the asshole-in-chief wanted to play automotive engineer. SpaceX has to make stuff that actually works. It also helps that there's someone competent running things day-to-day there instead of the aforementioned asshole-in-chief.
The Dragon capsule had to successfully complete both an in flight abort test and several uncrewed trips to the ISS before NASA trusted it to carry astronauts, the Starliner skipped both.
