After Ivan the Terrible's death, Boris Godunov became the Russian Tsar (1598-1605). He was succeeded by his son Feodor who ruled for about one month. Feodor was deposed by (False) Dmitry (the first of three) who in turn was killed in 1606.
So the nazi just makes decisions for the entire country and everyone just goes along with it?
Americans should never lecture anyone about democracy ever again.
The ISS not only serves as a testing ground and stepping stone for future human space exploration, it also enables technological and scientific advances that provide substantial benefits for humanity back on Earth.
For EVER. People keep forgetting there isn't enough oxygen or even atmosphere to allow a human to remain alive on Mars. Even if he was able to set up some sort of "bio-dome", there is still a lot of radiation on Mars. He wouldn't last long.
Yes! Go to Mars ! I hear the scenery is nice there . And take grandpa felon with you. Preferably one way ticket and without the Asteonaut suits. They’re too uncomfortable anyway . 😉
Why resist this? Surely there are some rockets that we can put Elon, TRump, Vance, Rubio and Wayne Gretzky in, and grant them their wish to go to Mars and build a golf resort there? It will be beautiful. Free trips to all MAGAnauts.
Tell ya what, stop funding SpaceX and do not give SpaceX a dime for anything. Start using ULA for US launches. Oh wait, The guy that owns the SpaceX Rockets has the keys to NASA. Let’s audit THAT!
Fuck MARS! We're wasting tax payer money on a fucking pipe dream of Musk's! We have bigger things to work on and spend money on right here on this planet! What the fuck is going to Mars going to do for us Americans!? Sorry for the foul language but damn I'm so pissed at this shit!
I agree. It's hard for me not to become the worst version of myself with all the insane Trump/Musk/Republicans in Congress shit happening. I feel like I'm running around with my hair on fire and no way to put it out.
Space-X has a contract with NASA to develop and deliver a Deorbit Vehicle for the ISS. The ISS will seize operation in 2030 and the deorbit process will start some time in 2031.
All the money that the USA is going to waste on Elon Musk’s little Mars addictive trip is going to cost you billions for a nine month trip for a few people in a little spaceship that when arriving has no ability to maintain life on the planet send him up for a test trip
Musk wants to go to Mars because it'll take $Billions to get there and he wants the lion's share of it.
He dreams of colonizing Mars, under a government more to his liking. Never mind that Mars is a hellscape. How bad must Earth get to make Mars look attractive to anyone but a profiteer?
Interesting. Who benefits from that I wonder? By the way, if there ever was an actual waste of money, it is going to Mars. We do not have the current ability to live there, deliver goods there, or even return from there. Although I love the idea of rocketing Musk to Mars, it is all a waste of $.
And since MAGA/Trump is really all about bringing back his comic book reading 1950s childhood world in a mansion in Forest Hills, Donald is big on Elon's Man on the Moon/Man on Mars thing too.
The Man on Mars thing is as stupid as the HyperLoop.
Elon's Mars thing is another little boy scifi deal like the HyperLoop (which wasn't a loop, wasn't hyper unless you mean super hyped). Multiple startups have all collapsed if they ever even got going because there are about a million things wrong with the concept, each one a killer unapp.
Truly, I wish this ass would spend as much time, money, and verbiage on THIS planet as he is on Mars. But it's all about musk convincing trump that investing in Mars ( musk's companies) is a possibility....$$$ in musk's pocket. What a snake oil salesman!
Fun fact: the largest Dutch pension fund ($500 billion) sold all Tesla stock even before this. Reason was bad governance, the $50 billion bonus that was planned for Elon.
Also sold all Meta and Alphabet stock now.
Mars-a- Lago..his next project which requires all the available money from the Treasury, bank accounts, Fort Knox gold, any any other Doge rape of America.
Get on one of your exploding rockets and go. You said you’d end world hunger, then reneged No one alive today will benefit at all from your misadventure, but please, go blow yourself up. That would be be an immedite benefit to humanity.
Orange Turd has prohibited all federal agencies, who had previously kept us informed of news from their areas of expertise, from making statements without his approval. Yet Musk, the Hun seems to be free to comment on any topic he chooses without fear of the Turd Reich's wrath?
1. INTERNATIONAL space station. Not American space station. Not Musk station.
2. If the space station is a waste, going directly to Mars would be a bigger waste.
3. Everything you could ever want to do on Mars in terms of securing humanity's future, you could do here on earth with much lower risk.
Anyone with a modicum of astrophysics knowledge can tell you that no matter how fucked earth gets, it's not as uninhabitable or isolated as fucking Mars. At least we have an atmosphere to filter if it becomes too polluted and aren't trapped up to 250 million miles away from help.
Elon doesn't even have a plan to deal with bacterial build-up. Imagine how fucking gross it'd be if he actually managed to get something set up? It'd be mouldy and covered in slime.
George Carlin said, "The Earth will be fine. This planet can renew itself, no matter how long it takes. Earth isn't at risk of going extinct. It's us."
There is a plan to decommission the ISS, agreed by all parties. It'll be vacated in 2030 and then deorbited in 2031. Musk will, hopefully, be long gone by then.
For the moment, Musk and SpaceX provide NASA with its only viable way to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS without the Russians who have signalled they may withdraw from the ISS before 2030. They had said they would withdraw this year, but have since rowed back on that timeline.
NASA's dependence on SpaceX is a huge mistake for a public mission, especially one as delicate as the ISS. Don't forget how he shut off Starlink to Ukrainian forces during their operations.
I REALLY want Musk to go to Mars, but he's got to land on Mars, else what's the point? MUSK TO MARS. I have a list of "crew" members I'd like to see as well.
I say let the billionaires go. Let them go to Mars, and set up their colony.
But I vote that we make it a one way trip. No possibility of return. At all. No possibility of any rescue for them.
They will want to take all of our money with them, so we let them. We just print new, different money.
It's time to take Leon's citizenship, which he obtained illegally. Seize the asset the Federal Government gave him, and deport him back to South Africa.
This POS in not only a national security threat he’s a worldwide security threat with his pathological lying and big platform to spread his misinformation.
Normally, the first thing Elon says about someone who doesn't agree with him is that they are a pedophile. Seeing as how this guy hasn't been on earth for a while, he went with its obsolete.
For Musk the "truth" is whatever serves his own purposes. However, If he truly feels this way about the ISS then he shouldn't mind if NASA cancels SpaceX's resupply contracts.
How 'bout Edolf Antichrist Go To Mars and Get Out Of Our Lives!! And Take Pumpkin Palpatine and All His Ridiculous Criminal Cabinet.....Oh Wait, Mars Doesn't Want Them Either.
Musk obviously wants the money being spent on ISS to go to SpaceX. I mean, the richest man in the world obviously needs even more money and who better to give it to him than the US government. IMO he is absolutely the most corrupt person in our government.
I support redirecting funds to the Mars project, as long as trump and leon are on the maiden voyage (and it launches soon). I don't even mind if the first flight winds up misdirected to the sun. We'd learn so much either way!
I've seen pictures of Mars. I don't want to live there. How about we try to fix the Earth, instead of putting a ton of resources towards sending humanity to a place that has no redeeming qualities, other than Elon will get to be a dictator? And anyway - hasn't he already achieved that?
The experiments being done on the ISS have many benefits & value in the fields of science & medicine! Far more value than an excursion to Mars with citizens who are no more than indentured servants of Muskrat! He began signing up people a decade ago promising transportation in exchange for labor 🙄
Elon Musk is a scammer. He knows we're not going to Mars in our lifetime. It's all about collecting billions in unearned government contracts and making himself richer at the expense of others.
The first two hits that come up on Google News under this direct you to Daily Beast and Rolling Stone. I imagine their coverage is probably decent and non-sycophantic, which is nice. I don't know for sure because both are behind paywalls.
As with streaming sites, we have now reached a point
where only the wealthy can afford to get access to everything they want. I'd subscribe to many sources and services if I could, but I can't, and I suspect the vast majority of people are in the same boat.
Thanks. Did not know. I wish there was a similar source for streaming shows. My wife and I have been trying to rewatch MAD MEN and our discs have turned into snot.
He ain't going because the tech ain't there, but I, for one, am perfectly willing to chip in some money for Musk to get strapped into a rocket to try. Tomorrow.
The first thing I would do is a dictator is change everything around. Times have to be changed and especially the laws. Have a nice day. Can we throw the hair a little longer on the side of men please?
Mars has no breathable atmosphere, no magnetic field, the soil is comprised of toxic corrosive chemicals and impossible to grow anything, and the temperatures cannot sustain human life.
Before we go to Mars, we need proof of concept that we can fix a planet. Starting with Earth.
Whenever I hear him talking about that Mars plan, I see the 2nd but last scene of "Don't look up" before my inner eye. I swap Trump for Merryl Streep, or sometimes Musk and sadistically enjoy them bring crushed by some kind of pterosaur. Bad me.
If he had any... He would go there on one of his rockets for a visit. He has no intention of going to Mars. He just wants to feed at the federal trough for several more years.
Also, Elmo happens to be right about deorbiting ISS: that project grew amoral, harmful and likely illegal in the US and EU - since Russia physically cannot be excluded from it. RU space agency Roskosmos has been directly participating in the invasion of Ukraine, in SEVERAL ways.

No wonder they refer to this time as the Time of Troubles.
and doing a terrible job of hiding it.
Musk is a drug addled fool.
Americans should never lecture anyone about democracy ever again.
Pissed doesn’t even cover it.
The ISS has more value to humanity than Musk Rat Elon ever will.
Does he even know what happens on the ISS and why it matters?!
Jesus take the wheel!
Musk Rat Elon only wishes he were this relevant.
Defund all Musk contracts. Save a Democracy
I have a giant slingshot in my backyard that will get him there. I'll let him use it for free.

Bon Voyage!

To Mars so he can say HE did it. He has the resources to drastically improve our planet
But I vote that we make it a one way trip. No possibility of return. At all. No possibility of any rescue for them.

He needs psychiatric intervention and drug rehabilitation
Or is that the point? Bankrupt everything else and shovel all the money into his pockets?
SMH
Martians- "We will Eat you.."
The sooner, the better!
Ketamin kills friends
America "You first"

Much work to be done.
Deport him.
The trillions could go to Social Security, education, real environment & NASA research at fraction of Elon’s grift.

can we please shoot this nazi into space. earth doesn’t want him.
