It's not exactly a "space port".
It's more of a "rocket pieces and flames generator."

"Defines space ports as critical infrastructure"?
That's insane. What about society breaks if a rocket isn't launched on time?
Nothing now.
If we continue the way we have, the only resources left will be quite distant.
We need those resources coming back to earth by the time we run out.
Or we, as humans, need to die off as a species and get over ourselves.
@HenryDorsett well, sure but that's not what the term "critical infrastructure" means and that reality is decades off at best. It's just Elon trying to make his investments a top candidate for more taxpayer support.

I wonder how the border land Cards Against Humanity bought before SpaceX showed up is doing. (Last i heard they were suing Elon for trespassing and using i the land for storage)
@[email protected] What't the status now that he has burned down the launch pad?

This land is my land. It is not your land. If you don’t get off it, I’ll use the government…
