well shucks. I live over her in Teague on the Due hiway and my barn rattled so hard it knocked a couple bales of hay down from the top loft and scared my cows and they went hitailing thru the fence and out on the due hiway and pulled two big old pecan trees down and blocled the darn hiway. I don’t reckon it’s anyone’s fault though.

Really hope this "redirection" from public funding to private companies works. If it does, it could mean a whole new era in space travel and exploration - and save the US taxpayer a bundle in the meantime.

Thus, less time

No one has said that you were with a woman just a natural thing to do,

They made it into orbit, but only one set of thrusters is working ATM. Hope they get it sorted soon.

It must be frustrating to be so rich and so smart and still have troubles you didn't think of ahead of time

SpaceX: Spacecraft crippled, but Musk optimistic it will recover

Los Angeles Times·16 hours ago
After a successful launch of its Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX has ran into a thruster issue with its Dragon cargo-carrying capsule as it orbits the Earth

Problems with the capsule have been solved. Will dock with the spacestation on Sunday!
