| Aug 3, 2020 at 12:57 | comment | added | Graham | "point-to-point passenger service on Earth" At which point it's appropriate to remember that a "point-to-point payload service on Earth" is the definition of an ICBM. I'm not saying Elon Musk is definitely Hugo Drax, but it's ironic that this could make Donald Trump's otherwise-batshit-crazy Space Force plans a justifiable concept. | |
