I bet the pentagon or wherever supposedly does central planning for the USA is empty and the building is just for show.

Maybe it's full of dusty pinball machines and a single fridge full of 1990's snapple.

It's as if the people in control of the USA don't plan to stay here. Maybe they're planning on going to Israel, or were before it became apparent Israel's done for.

What are we doing here, as a country?

Is the totality of the USA's priorities jacking up property prices?

Is that really it? That's what the USA's big plan is? Market fixing schemes, get "rich", and then retire abroad somewhere that hasn't been as damaged by incompetence and neglect?

I don't really see why the USA is apparently having issues with opening up space except a lack of competent leadership for research and development and a lack of interest and therefore funding by the Jewish nepotists that are obsessed with real estate.

Even using the apparent current tech relying on combustible fuels, it doesn't make sense that it's having difficulties.

Part of the issue in the West is the economics that are eschewed by market rigging of various kinds.

I hear these things about how expensive jet fuel is and it just doesn't make rational sense to me. It seems to me that fuel generation could be done as part of the operation. Just to secure fuel involves interacting with a nightmare of fixed markets that jack the price up to astronomical sums making large scale combustible fuel space craft prohibitively expensive to research and develop. When I think about things like hydrogen oxygen mixtures or short chain molecules I think, "basically free" because you can make them from cheap things with the right infrastructure, but it doesn't work out that way when the markets are rigged in weird ways and you have to pay a dozen middle men.

Why does it have to be the government's job? NASA is doing enough, Elon wouldn't be able to just land starships on Mars without all the data they gathered from the rovers and from orbit, same goes for manned landings. I imagine they'll be able to use NASA's orbiter for its data link too.

It isn't? I think Elon said rocket-grade kerosene costs them $200k per Falcon 9 launch, less than a percent of the price of the rocket. For starship they'll make their own liquid methane.
