    What can we expect from a jackass like you? The above drivel.

    Musk is South African, you retard: so much for American innovation; and Musk was educated at Penn & Wharton. Both schools: east coast.

    TESLA hasn't made a dime of profit to date AND it has an unrealistic share valuation based primarily on the morons in California who granted him massive tax breaks so that he would plunk TESLA in Cali. The only reason that TESLA's balance sheet looks the way it does is due to California signing away hundreds of millions in tax revenues from TESLA just so they could get a car company situated in Hawthorne.

    In fact, the only reason that TESLA is in Cali is not because of how incredibly intelligent everyone in the land of fruits & nuts is, it is because your idiot politicians made your already bankrupt state pay for TESLA's endeavors. TESLA wouldn't exist if government hadn't made taxpayers cover the private sector costs. Same thing with SpaceX and Solar City.

    Before you open that toilet underneath your mouf, try to connect it with the mush that resembles your brain. Get some facts before running your yap. Especially when it comes to the east coast.

    Not a fan of any of them, but I had Gronk in both my fantasy leagues. BOOM. 3 TDs and 150 yards. Not a bad day for a TE. He was just tossing guys to the ground like they were little kids.

    Some people have the opinion's that the billions of dollars that go into the space program should be used for helping people here on the ground. Its a legitimate point of view, and I totally get it. At the same, time, the space program has enabled us to learn more about our world and the universe then anything before, and has got to be one of the pinnacles of human accomplishment.

    It's got to be extremely frustrating for all the engineers and scientists who put their work into that rocket, but they'll figure out what caused the mishap and get it right the next time. The US government has been pulling funds from NASA left and right, and I hope that trend doesn't continue.

    Yes, exactly. One of the best reasons I can think of for the space advancement of the space programs!

    Ugh, and not to be "that guy" but was it not Bush in 2004 that signed the killing of the space program in 2011? It was killed on Obamas watch, but whatever. The decision had been made 7 years prior. I think he would have killed it anyway, but... carry on.

    Those rocket motors were made / refurbed in Russia. It was either product malfunction or outright sabotage, but either way, somewhere Putin is giggling insanely with pleasure at the Russky sabotage of America's space program in front of the entire world.

    Of course, we will never hear that it was the crappy Russian engines or outright sabotage that caused the self-implosion of Antares. Oh no. What we will get fed is the govt line, such as it was a flock of seagulls got sucked into one of the boosters or some such shiiiiite.

    wait you spout conspiracy nonsense about the rockets being russian and i ask where you got that info and you have some sarcastic response. so by all accounts this is just some ridiculous theory you've made up. got it.

    Yeah, I don't think that helps the alternative theory here. That sounds to me like when the Putin and the Russians finally stopped the hysterical laughter that last for probably 2-3 hours and a few bottles of vodka, they collected themselves and said, he lets add insult to injury and make a statement to the US that we will bail them out....
