Ha! I can't help but recall L. Ron Hubbard and his relationship to the megalomaniacal/inadequacy tendencies of JPL co-founder Jack Parsons. Rockets aren't an object of obsession because they're vehicles to Mars or for killing huge numbers of enemies. They're objects of obsession because they model Musk et al's penises. Of course a celebrity like Musk tries to buy penises from strongman dictators! I suppose it's progress to move from disposable strap-ons to (partially) reusable strap-ons, though. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Heavy>
But manned aircraft seems out of character. My guess would be fully autonomous drones. But similar to including brake pads, aircraft face more persnickety risks than, oh let's say, adopting the Idaho stop. <https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-recalls-nearly-54000-us-vehicles-rolling-stop-software-feature-2022-02-01/> On 2/2/22 10:08, Gillian Densmore wrote:
