300-500 mile range is cringe-worthy when a dual tank diesel will get you near 2K miles. (And yes, truckers aren't able to do this, but filling up is time). Edit: I'm in the industry and this is one case where time really is money

No doubt there are some sour grapes in that article. However, as an American, I feel it's our obligation to honor and respect the fact that without the Russians, we would not have had American astronauts in space for the past 9 years.

When a lady cardinal is being wooed by a couple of bright red guy cardinals and she eventually chooses one, we call that nature. When humans do this, we get our feathers ruffled. Strange.

People are saying this is normal. Normal doesn't make it right. I would check what the local laws for you are regarding this, but I would personally say "no". Work with your team to make sure they know exactly what they need
