MAGA was Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan, lifted from Bill Clinton who repeatedly used the phrase, during his 1992 campaign.

This is not a Trump thread. You are obviously lost.
You made it a Trump thread that's why you posted a space launch in the political forum rather than current events.


Why is this in the politics forum if its not about Trump.

I was most shocked at how sleek and modern everything was and it made me believe for a second that maybe we can do this.

But I am going to stop watching now. I think honestly, once the eyes of the world are on space travel it starts going wrong.

Don't forget to look for it tonight, I want reports. I may be too far south to see it. Thanks in advance.

This was cool. Easily the best thing that happened this whole month in this country!

People are still capable of doing very good things.

Again. The Left always states on City Data that Trump is in charge therefore he is responsible for every bad thing that happens anywhere in the country. Well by that logic, he is also responsible for every good thing, such as this SpaceX launch. Understand now? I am just using what the left said was the ground rules.

This is a great engineering achievement by SpaceX and NASA. Some people seek to diminish it be saying that it's not without historical precedent - while that's true, there haven't been many manned space vehicles produced in the 60-year history of manned space flight - it's too difficult and too costly. There is a great deal of complexity involved and the enormous physical stresses in the rocket and the hostile environment of space make for a risky and very unforgiving project.

For the fools who need to rant about politics - you already do that in all the other threads. Give this one thread a rest and let Americans of all political views share some pride, joy, and relief in a complex mission that is going well.

President Trump is our leader. He created the Space Force. This was launched from a GOVERNMENT facility by NASA. He reopened the program for America after Barack sold us out to the Russians at the price of $85million/seat to ride their rockets to the station.

Another false and uninformed opinion about space policy just looking to cheerlead for your team.
