I wish more people could parse this. NASA is doing the hard work. And it benefits us. TANG! (He says in jest). I wouldn’t be holding this fucking phone THIS SOON if we didn’t do the hard things. Remember when NASA sent a rover to mars on a SKY CRANE ON ONE TRY?

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Since the dawn of information technology - literally the Gutenberg era - tech entrepreneurs have been trying to convince people that their new way of delivering information would be killed if they had to actually pay for the information they were making money delivering.

This is Stacey. I did not name her. I am here to “watch” this cat. A cat whose paws are so, so tiny. But so loud on the floor. And so daggerous on the belly. She is an incarnation of a vengeful surface area. A gremlin of noise and pain.
