You can now buy a 4 bedroom house built in 2004 in Phoenix for $50k. Not kidding. Phoenix is the next Detroit.

IntLibber, Sorry Josh, but you and your messiah are wrong again here too. Is this statement necessary? I mentioned Obama because he is disliked here, not because I am enamored with him. It was basically a nice jab at the irrational conservatives who have been bashing the new, private space direction...

Elon Musk is worth more than $300 million, guys. Don't buy in to divorce settlement claims.

I'm not defending Bush. If I never hear the name "Bush" again in politics, that will be too soon. I think he is responsible for a bunch of crap we're having to deal with now. Didn't mean to imply that you were. The topic though was about "Obama's America." I do think Obama's approach to defunding N...

It is amazing what private companies can do. Hear hear! :D SpaceX is already in talks with NASA about super heavy! edit: I should say that this is super preliminary, but it does confirm that they're involved in the super heavy discussion process, and in 5 years I expect that we'll have ourselves a ...

Yes, the place where the rooster takes credit for the sunrise. SpaceX deserves credit. Obama? Not so much. Obama is funding CCdev (Commercial Crew Development). Bush let Griffen sit on his hands for 4 years refusing to initiate the option. If it was initiated by now we'd have maybe a 1-2 year gap i...

The cost to taxpayers, though, for the entire SpaceX Falcon 9 program, and Cargo Resupply development, was less than the test flight of the Ares I-X.

So I thought the long beep at the end of the episode was a joke, but it turns out that they actually had dialog there and it was in fact no joke. Also, there's the possibility that Mohammad was in fact actually drawn (fake image using the pic of Mohammad on the Comedy Central website which they fail...

Betruger, the thing is, it would be a commercial bid, what "opposition" could there be? Is there "opposition" to Dream Chaser? Maybe a little, from crazy Cx'ers, but not from the public at large, which is largely ambivalent about space. And certainly not from contractors already involved on their ow...

BTW, a comment posted here summerizes it perfectly: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1982475-2,00.html The old Griffin Constellation plan never made sense.
