    It’s a shame, because their launch site in Bowen is much closer to the Equator than the continental US. When/if they get it right, they’ll be able to need far less fuel than US launch sites.

    We’re all one race: the human race. There is no space race.

        Thank you. My Reddit account is old enough to drink, but I’ve never once received a Happy Cake Day. It’s truly appreciated.

      Add fuel until it stops going, add engines until it starts exploding, then add struts until it stops exploding. Repeat to orbit.

    So, it’s “Xeeting” now instead of “tweeting” or simply “posting”?
