Ron Desantis's "Weekend at Bernie's president" joke at the RNC, like every other accusation from the GOP, was just more projection.

So is his diaper

A DA will be a nice foil to the convicted felon.

Regarding ballot eligibility- I think part of timing for this is that the Dems are about to have their "roll call" in the next week or two to officially nominate a candidate to get on ballots before the official full convention.

The US healthcare system is completely broken unless you're rich.

Multiple things can be true at the same time, though: people don't take care of themselves and live very unhealthy sedentary lifestyles with awful diets.

So does Valve?

I was kind of hoping for Impulse Space, but they're probably too unproven.

One of Starship's engines on the lowest setting would tear the station apart. Regardless of whether they make this based on Starship instead of something more reasonably sized like a Dragon or Falcon 2nd stage, it'll still need either a new engine design or a big cluster of Dracos. It'll be something custom.

Regarding their Artemis work- the payments are milestone based, so they get money as they pass milestones. Engine relights and ship to ship prop transfer are some of the next ones.

Regarding their other customers- the Starship manifest includes another moon cruise, several satellite launches, and a lot of Starlinks.

Serious answer- SpaceX is building the deorbit vehicle then turning it over to NASA, who will have full control over it.

There's no way Russia builds a new station. The timeline for them getting Nauka to orbit basically proves that it's impossible. They've been trying to buddy up with China to visit theirs, though.

I'm just waiting for the moisture farmers to get landspeeders

The docking adapters look pretty much the same (interlocking petals, not male/female) and can be active, passive, or both, but Dragon's is only active. Active has to dock to passive, so two Dragons couldn't dock.

SpaceX developed a new one that can be active or passive for Starship, which will have to dock with Orion and the Lunar Gateway.
