Got my C7R back! Two years ago it shipped to the Peterson Museum for a year, then spent a year in mechanical hell trying to sort a new engine and brake issues. Now back ready to go.!

BREAKING: US to build nuclear reactor on Moon by 2030.
This is an important step into the space age. Once you have efficient reactors for surface power, nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) will soon follow.

Took my Czinger Vmax out to the canyons today. Bro with a Bugatti quizzed me about it for about five minutes, then turned to the dealer and said I want one, can you ship it to Dubai? 😂

We want to open up the capabilities of LEO and above and greatly reduce the cost of getting anywhere else past LEO...We want to see lots of things happen, and hopefully we can reduce the cost and help make it happen.
