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

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.

I hear these things about how expensive jet fuel is and it just doesn't make rational sense to me.

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.
