To gut science and exploration?

Then why are you implying that he parroted the OMB? If anything, it implies the opposite.

Wasn't this written prior to that?

*SLS

"That position", referring to the cancellation of SKS and Gateway. One part of the plan being a recommendation that was widely floated long before Trump's OMB joined in does not mean they wrote it.

You can't claim to be ignorant here

There's no mention of the OMB in that article.

In what way is that inaccurate?

I'd love to hear a reason why SLS shouldn't be cancelled.

If we can love Apollo-era NASA despite von Braun, we can love SpaceX despite Musk.

Seriously. The 737 has enough issues. We don't need to blame it for something that isn't its fault

What model of aircraft has a windshield which wouldn't shatter when impacting a solid object at that speed?

About on par with flight 6.

Yeah, none of this counts towards human-rating. That starts *after* Starship is operational and launching regularly.

NASA has benefitted *massively* from SpaceX. Where do people get these ideas?

What? It did everything it was supposed to do.

Starlink was supposed to be free?

It's paid for by the company's investors.

They hit the water at terminal velocity. They are most certainly not intact.

He was the head of NASA, used slave labor from concentration camps to build the A4/V2, and repeatedly bombed civilians.

Because the Apollo program was more than one person.
