All I see here is a Mile High Club vacation for rich people.

I see that, and I see Mideast tyrannies investing the money from their oil we pump into the sky getting a subsidized ride on decades of American ingenuity, risk and expense. So they can move past the oil they've locked us into paying for by backing Trump.

If there's anything that makes less sense than manned space flight, it's commercial manned spaceflight.

By the same token, commercial manned spaceflight makes at least as much sense as manned spaceflight. And since manned spaceflight makes a lot of sense, as the way that humans spread out to populate space the way we spread out to populate the Earth, that's a lot of sense.

Funny, Trump's mantra is drill, baby drill. He turned us from a net importer to a net exporter of petroleum products. Biden reversed that. Now, Trump is trying to turn it around again. Be interesting to see what happens if the Democrats win in '28.

That's a lot of malarkey - including Trump's mantra. He says that only to take credit for what Obama built and Biden sustained, US energy independence as net oil exporter. In Trump's first term the USA was a net exporter for one week, when Trump sold off stored oil to create that talking point, not increased production or reduced consumption. Even that stunt stood on the shoulders of the energy independence development that Obama/Biden drove since their 2011 policies conducted for the rest of his two terms, reducing consumption including strongly developing renewables while also increasing production. And then under Biden/Harris the USA became a reliable net exporter.

This is not a rhetorical question: Where did you get the disinfo that Trump made the USA a net exporter and Biden reversed it?

Can you provide a source for ANY of that? Remember, Trump is not a primary source.

And also remember, I provided a source (sources, in the cited page footnotes) to my rebuttal in my own reply to Dark Jaguar's comment. There are citable facts, and there's concocted malarkey.

The original comment wasn't mine- thank all that is still good in this world.

Yes, I know. I should have phrased it as "we can remember" rather than imply that you were the one who I was addressing, as I meant it as a recommendation to any reader.
