The hero America deserves:In the last few months, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has vowed to sell almost all

what's that? Accessible transportation to the masses?

Perhaps, eventually. Like PC and tablets, started out costing an arm and a leg.

One thing about EV, the mechanical parts are very simple and can be dirt cheap. The challenge is the battery, which the manufacturers will get it right after the factory is fully automated.

You can thank AC Propulsion, Tarpenning & Eberhard for that. Musk's capital injection helped no doubt, but venture capitalists are a dime a dozen in Silicon valley.

Absolutely. But like iPhone, it took Jobs to get it right. And in Musk's case, he is more than a VC, he runs the company. The parts suppliers are US based, without him, they will have to export their parts to survive.

don't hurt their heroes, they got brittle egos around here

He is actually not my hero, I don't trade/own TSLA and didn't buy his cars.

I am giving the devil his due.

Scrubbed, I rode to the top of a large hill to watch on my phone and hope to see it fly over the UK.

Also had 3 punctures and mates cranks fell off, so pretty poor bike ride LOL

Saturday next window to play chase the ISS!!

oh....another publicity stunt. Maybe they should hire a meteorologist next time

Errr no, the weather just didn't meet the criteria for a human rated flight at the precise launch time, try again Saturday when the Station flies over.

Yes cause I meteorologist can literally change the weather, pretty sure that's who said, no to the launch fool.


PC's how do you come up with such crazy illogical stuff and think it's right ?? guess your all quite high on the autistic score.

Yep, likely too early at 9:33pm last time here to see, not dark enough, defo no chance this launch attempt.

Blow up Dolls hey, don't judge man!!

While GM, Ford and Chrysler were moving all their car factories to Mexico, he was busy building Tesla in Silicone Valley. While Boeing, Northrop etc. are moving all their aerospace operations out of Southern California to Alabama, Georgia, Arizona and Texas he built his Space X in SoCal, all in spite of high cost, high taxes.

Maybe it is the water.

In all seriousness, it offers a lesson for all who chase after low cost productions in foreign countries, especially in China.

Tesla and Ford are like chalk and cheese. One is a tech pioneer with a prestige brand, the others are low-cost manufacturers.

Nice Launch, nobody died, shamed they missed the landing on the feed mind

All your Elon Musk haters, he did that, mostly his ideas and work which you won't care about, but he did it cheaper than via Russia and gave jobs to Americans.
