Very exciting and close race. For these elections, I always try to get a local angle for impressions of candidates (especially in this case where party ID isn’t clear).

Their subreddit in particular has been very illuminating - mixed support, no strong opinions. Will be interesting!

Is this question in reference to The Rehearsal? LOL

Right now, NASA operates more like a jobs program that works towards space advancements. If you take a look at SLS procurement, all 50 states are involved - which sounds great! But it reduces operational efficiency leading to much longer timelines to launch.

Regardless, more NASA money is a win.

Agreed! I’m a big proponent of 1% of the federal budget for NASA (for reference, we’re currently around 0.4%)

One key change we need though to truly make it an effective 21st century space agency is adjusting its procurement requirements.

It’ll get there, not thanks to Elon but because of the wider SpaceX team. We all need to give him less airtime and focus on their exciting work.

Also appreciate your writing - one of the reasons I subscribed!

A lot of amazing and intelligent people work at SpaceX and are doing some incredible stuff. Confident they’ll figure this out - obviously would be nice if this was a reliable launch vehicle by flight 9, but SpaceX has the capital (from Starlink profitability alone!) to continue to iterate.

Totally agree with the glazing from SpaceX PR / Elon…the livecast was hard to watch. Ship clearly lost attitude control and the reps were like “this is GREAT 🥴🥴🥴”

Do want to callout that we’ve had plenty of rocket losses in the past - we think of Apollo 11, but plenty of hardships to get there.

A large majority of the public, 83%, say the president must obey a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, while 17% say the president has the power to ignore such a ruling. The percentage saying he must obey a ruling has increased slightly from 79% in December to 83% in March.

For reference:
My hunch - this is case of party media specialists and publicists blanket advising / managing caucus members towards a certain SM tool stack. To my knowledge (and would love to be wrong!), BS lacks the 3rd market penetration for comms to go out en masse, which means hired media firms stick with X.
