In #28 Kosh's Shadow said: NASA could not apply fail fast and iterate. Too many people would say with every rapid unscheduled disassembly that they were wasting taxpayer money. Elon can blow up his and stockholders' money - the stockholders know what is going on. So they fail and learn from the failures. NASA has to gold-and-platimum-plate everything and they still fail. They just don't really learn But a lot is the government telling them what to do.

NASA was also doing more crewed missions. Life critical hardware. Can't be blowing people up in testing... the optics are bad.

Noboa in Ecuador is going to have to do a Bukele.

And that's the most optimistic scenario.

Egads. The stupidity. The idea of "enforcing existing laws" is beyond the mental capability of these people. They create their own destruction and never own it. 

Crazy busy day today; probably won't be on much.

The same holds true of the current blather on "a bipartisan deal regarding the border."  If they just treated illegal-alien border jumpers as illegal-alien border jumpers, instead of "migrants" or "asylum seekers," and stopped blathering about "a path to citizenship" for people who shouldn't be here in the first place, there'd be no need for a "bipartisan deal" on new measures.
