Imagine making up strawmen on forums so that you can feel smug knocking them down... The fact is that governments already spend far more than billionaires are able to spend and are relatively ineffective. No one has ever suggested they stop

There's no reason to get into comparisons, except to the extent that it helps push them to compete harder, and make more progress. A public space race of billionaires is exactly the kind of thing we should all be hoping for. They can l

The difference is that the SEC was legally in the right. It wasn't the SEC Chairman choosing to flex his authority on a high profile private company. If Musk is in the right here, the FAA will not have any luck bullying him.

This is a line in the sand that the U.S. government should not allow to be crossed going forward. All U.S. citizens anywhere, and anyone on U.S. soil, should be protected. This is one of the very good reasons to have such powerful intellige

It's plausible that: 1. Some kind of alien probes have been visiting Earth for millions of years. 2. These probes are very hard to detect/track/capture on camera, leading to lots of unconfirmed rumors since the dawn of modern
