Only one right wing poster made this thread about Trump, and it wasn't me. Someone said "Thank you president Trump", then called him a great man, and this was enough to make lefties go berserk and make this whole thread about Trump. LOL! You folks and your TDS are just too much!

All credit to Elon Musk and SpaceX.



This is not a Trump thread. You are obviously lost.

I'm happy to see that we as a nation were able to launch two astronauts into space, using SpaceX rockets built in the USA. The launch also took place on USA soil. This wasn't possible under Obama's failed administration. As another poster pointed out, we were woefully dependent on Russia for that. I thought Russia = bad, according to the left?
Space X has been designing/ manufacturing in and launching from the US since 2008.

It proved he could build better and cheaper than the US and Russian governments.

It is a government contractor.

Musk is a registered Independent and views himself as a Moderate, not Conservative.

He favors a carbon tax and believes universal basic income is inevitable.

He seems a tad obsessed about the climate apocalypse.

Again, what does Trump have to do with this beyond the photo op? Did I miss something?

I don't care what his politics are. Lefties can help MAGA too if they want. But the ones burning down buildings and looting probably aren't interested in that type of thing, nor are the dolts who defend and encourage that sort of behavior.

I voted for Trump but did not drink the kool- aid. I don’t make politicians false idols.

I thought this thread was about today’s launch. Why bring pond scum into it?

I did not introduce Trump into the discussion, as I clearly stated.

You invoked the stupid Trump MAGA slogan in the OP... you made it about trump.

If one believes this launch is MAGA, then you had better thank Musk and the private venture capital he raised to achieve it.

Yes. Forget all of those engineers and scientists that actually made it happen.
