You're not wrong, but for some things, who would be the customers of said products / services besides NASA? What is the market for manned space capsules besides NASA?
ESA? CSA? ISRO? Should I keep going? Or are you now going to argue that they shouldn't be allowed to sell to OTHER countries either, unless it's under a "cost plus" arrangement?
As long as you're going to argue in favour of a system which encourages inefficiency, yeah, the target market will likely be almost entirely limited to various governments. That's rather the point; the situation changes drastically as efficiency increases and costs decrease. As this article points out, there have already been rich tourists buying rides to space from the Russians, and that's at a price significantly higher than what SpaceX will be able to achieve.
That's all ignoring the fact that manned launches aren't likely to be their primary income stream for a long time to come. While inexpensive manned flights are an important goal for the future, in the near term the vast majority of launches will be for satellites, probes, and cargo.
Yes, they're called a "public works" or "works programs".
No, it's not, but even if it were... that's not what "socialism" means. Apparently you're not the only idiot confused about the meaning of the word though, since the original retard is sitting at +3 right now.
There were also those ad bars you could download and every 60 seconds they would display another ad an you would get a smaller amount like $.01 for each rotation.
However it 7th grade again when I was at the height of my scheming ways I downloaded my account's ad bars on every computer in the school room and would show up early and run them on 50 computers roughly until everyone else showed up
I was a few years older than you i think, but I did one better on this; ran packet capture software to figure out exactly what the ad bar was saying to the server, then wrote scripts to simulate it without having to show any ads. It meant I could leave them running 24/7 on whichever computers I liked without having to worry about whether anyone was using them. This came in even more useful later on when they started monitoring for mouse movement to make sure you were actually using the computer; the script could simulate those just as easily.
I don't think they ever caught on. Cheques kept coming in right up until I lost interest due to the increasing complexity/security of the ad bar. I wasn't too worried about being caught anyway since, like you, I was a minor at the time.
the upright-landing thing goes wrong quite a lot they just don't show you
Your entire post is completely wrong and very stupid, but this conspiracy-mongering is egregiously stupid. The history of every booster ever built by SpaceX is completely public, and wikipedia has a good breakdown of them. There are hundreds of people tracking every launch and recovery, and even an android app with all the relevant details. You're just making up complete nonsense.
For the record, spacex has attempts to land 37 boosters and has succeeded 31 times. The first 5 failures all occurred between 2014 and 2016. In 2017 every recovery attempt was a success. The single failure in 2018 happened while attempting to recover all 3 segments of the Falcon Heavy; 2 were recovered on land while the third crashed near the drone ship after running out of ignition fluid.
In order to fix medicine you want to eliminate all standards and oversight? That's cute. While we are at it let's fix aviation by eliminating the FAA and all licensing requirements.
QoS only ever affects network traffic in any significant way when there is congestion. If there is congestion, the correct solution is to increase capacity, not to throttle some traffic
So you're arguing that QoS shouldn't exist because everyone can always just immediately increase capacity.
But banning subcategorties - e.g., flavored e-liquids or menthol cigarettes, while keeping the regular stuff around isn't a complete ban - if you must smoke or vape, you can. It's just they removed the attractants that make it feel less nasty or more appealing. So you can smoke and vape still.
They should do this for food. Ban all flavour. From now on everyone just gets bland protein chunks and scientifically formulated nutrition powder. After all there's an obesity epidemic going on, and Teh Gubberment Must Do Something! You can still eat, you just have to eat the legal federally mandated stuff.
I got a laugh out of the fact that he's trying to cite the bill of rights even though he clearly has no clue what it says or means... and that he truly believes there's some all-encompassing "right to privacy".
Google's shitty conduct is an entirely separate matter. I've started down the road of trying to eliminate as many of their products from my life as possible, but it's a slow slog.
The reason they're profitable is because they are better at feeding the planet. The "it's all about the profit" objection is just blatant propaganda; if you're going to object to efficiency based on the fact that it's more profitable than inefficiency, I really hope you enjoy being a cave dwelling hunter-gatherer.
Thanks bro. Now can I have my shake and fries, please? No, I don't care that you think dairy is unethical; as long as you're wearing that hat I expect you to bring me my food.

This means that you rip through the air, and what's behind you, is a vacuum, that collapses. That's what the sonic boom is.
No, that's not right at all. A sonic boom is air pressure waves "piling up" to form a larger shockwave. Has nothing to do with "vacuum collapsing".
There's no way to eliminate it.
Not completely, but there certainly are ways to minimize it.

Oh, and thanks for calling me a retard. It's good evidence I'm right.
Yep, retards are always right. Especially when they're arguing that it doesn't really matter what words mean.

Getting paid for working is a type of socialism?
Commies say the darndest things.

How exactly would you propose making a quick legal $45.000 with GPS spoofing?
Market it to cheating husbands with suspicious wives.

No, you're thinking of All Gore.
Don't give them any ideas. If there's any place that would vote for such a motion, it's California.

Good one.
Look up what HFCS does to the body (hint its insanely bad compared to natural fructose and sugar)
If you're going to post this kind of nonsense, you're definitely not the best person to have defending vaping ...

Sounds like you should ban homelessness, too.
Of course it is the first practical one, because it has no real value
lol
Even you can't be stupid/insane enough to believe this.
What's this "we" stuff? I'd honestly be surprised if you could tie your shoes ...
Gene Roddenberry
He lives with his mother, so he has her at least. I suspect it's a Norman Bates type relationship.
On the bright side, we now have a solution to global warming. Let's get NASA on this stat!

The democrats ran Bernie, and he had a fuck of a lot of support amongst their base.

Where the hell did you get that nonsense from? Literally none of that is in any way correct.
