The takedowns of Elon Musk’s defence of space were out of this world
Multi-billionaire Elon Musk wants to colonise Mars, using the SpaceX Starship to facilitate that – a rocket capable of carrying 100 passengers or 100 tons of cargo.
He shared a photo of the Starship’s Raptor engines.

Author Zack Hunt laid it out for all to see.
Nobody is attacking space.
We’re attacking billionaires who amassed vast fortunes on the backs of an exploited work force using those fortunes to hold an extravagant dick measuring contest instead of doing anything remotely helpful with their ill gotten gains.
