There’s a wattle that goes by that name.

Yes, it’s a worthy one. Will arrive at Jupiter in 2030 so let’s all survive at least that long.

Full two and a half hour coverage of the launch and separations, with plenty of explanation of the mission. Lift off at 1:06:30

Ah, I thought I was wrong but couldn’t pull the correct word. There’s another one called, dead finish.

I read an SF short story about a race called that. They functioned at about 1/10 speed compared to humans.

Fires were a real worry.

Ignore the Elon connection, he’s just an expendable self-promoter. No-one bother to mention the head of Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop etc when discussing NASA missions.

But, as an expendable self-promoter, Elon is the most annoying. So, the maker of the rocket which bears him far, far away is of no consideration. As long as it happens.

Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before he’s pushed aside, but America these days has invested heavily in goofballs, nutcases and dangerous weirdos.

Nah, he’s got too much money, plus he does not care what you think. Pity, but it seems you are just too small and inconsequential to matter.

All of Elons achievements would use tens of thousands of workers to make it a reality.

How his companies treat the workers is a true show of his character.

I think you will find most are very happy and proud to be working for highly regarded and world leading companies (yes he has several). He just does not want the whining and pessimistic types that find fault with everyone and everything to work for him. Sorry car, he don’t need uninspired artists.

Self promotion and big noting oneself can be tiring as you wish they’d just shut up and not hijack everything to be about them.

You seem to be very naive to think the discussions and goings on in the boardrooms of big business is all good and above board, only Elon speaks out in an open and honest way. Not everyone’s idea of an uneventful life, but if you believe strongly in something and have tons of money and do not need the approval of the masses, then……….

Bullshit, big business and private enterprise will always manage finances and productivity and quality and end users better than state or government or public service will¡

Michael Bentine was a comedian. You shouldn’t take his pronouncements too seriously.

Important distinction there, i think.
