@WordsmithFL I usually watch the launches but over the past little while I've stopped. The only SpaceX launch I'm interested in now is when the send Elon to the far reaches of the galaxy.

@Tacitus_Kilgore Tonight's launch was clouded out. I saw all of two seconds.

I can still appreciate the marvel of new technology while hoping that Elon somehow is sacked and Gwynne Shotwell runs the company.

More importantly, one of the other launch companies need to step it up. Blue Origin would seem the probable candidate but Jeff Bezos doesn't seem to be in a rush.

@WordsmithFL I wish the US government could find some other company and break its contract with SpaceX.

@cataloger1 Federal law prohibits discriminating against vendors on the basis of political beliefs.

Although might change that and require picking only his favorites. We'll see.
