That's one tall rocket.  I wonder when SpaceX will get their problems with the FAA squared away so they can launch that beast?

How long has BO been working on the New Glen rocket?  Development was started in 2012.  First launch was slated for this year, but has been pushed back until first quarter of next year at the earliest.
I'm skeptical of that projected time, too.  I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
