After spending $7 million on restoring a launchpad at the Vandenberg Spaceport, USAF never actually let them use it. Instead of sitting on their hands while waiting for infinite amounts of government paperwork and delays they took charge. In just a few months a new launch site was constructed entirely from scratch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

When you don't have a bottomless source of taxpayer money you can't afford to be slow.

Meanwhile the Russians can enjoy their shitty cramped Soyuz🤣

And soon all that power will take us to the moon once again 🚀

Falcon 9/Heavy is such a game changer for the space industry. Don't even get me started on Starship 😍

It's insane how Elon has normalized landing an orbital booster more than once per week.
