You can use less washy words. For example you can say “a woman has been accused of a hate crime, if these alligatons are true then…”
The way these stories are written now not only use the “allegedly” they also tend to use language that down plays the event.
“possible hate crime”…
Its the Costco store brand, not really relating it to a city in a foreign nation. But the reason bazos is Temu brand is just since its funny. Feel free to call them <insert what ever> brand Dr. evils though.
Blue Origin
From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.
Yes, it is clearly in the billions. I also get angry that Boeing, Northrop Grumman (the $50k for a hammer people) and the like keep getting a free pass wasting truck loads of money without delivering.
I am arguing in good faith, this is what I could find on the prices (and since this is a private (not publicly traded) company I do take it with a grain of salt). I think you might have a bit more emotionally tied up in this then you are willing to admit.
For more fun I started to look at some of the other development costs of Space X rockets.
Starship (the big spender) : $5 billion to $10 billion
Falcon Heavy : Over $500 Million
Falcon 9 : $300 Million
Falcon 1: $100 Million
Like I dislike the kirkland brand Dr.evil as much as the next dood, but I think boeing might just have a spending issue.
SLS cost to develop so far: US$23.8 billion nominal
Falcon 9 cost to develop so far (note this was for falcon 9 1.0)(estimate): US$300 million
Once again, not even close.
Even ignoring all the other aspects of one working and the other not; The big one is even with the musk grift the cost to taxpayers is orders of magnitude different.
SLS is Over US$2 billion excluding development (estimate) per launch. While Space X just upped their cost estimates in 2022 to $67 million per launch.
Hey at least it is in the same city, I used to get ones for 2000 Km away.
The ones before the mention where not better…
Like I get it the shuttle looks cool. But it also set records for the most expensive to orbit costs, while it had the purpose of saving money getting things to orbit.
I am just baffled why a program that costs more then the entire Apollo program (both adjusted for inflation) is somehow the poster vessel for space flight.
In the bingilator:
“A banana that is part Banana and also part banana that contains no money” one try since I meant to type “monkey” but this is better.
Where are your primary sources?
Does that also mean you don’t understand what they are?
See this does not work the way you think it does.
1 Point. Almost got most uncomfortable since it moves and I did not notice at first leading me to think I was seeing things.
Oh, I have that bit. Its not even the weirdest
Oh, how topical.
Really wish you would share your secrets, I too want to get terrible things as output.
Horse arms are very in now.
