He's just a guy who's most likely going to be the next us president. Glad to see you care. We are just interested in seeing who the next person is that's going to further destroy your country.

Again, don't be surprised when Trump is addressed as President at year's end. People underestimated him when he first announced that he was going to run for president, and people underestimate him now. He's no fool, he wouldn't make a baseless prediction for no apparent reason. The US economy is...

Wouldn't it be a surprise if we start addressing Trump as President Trump by the end of the year?

US at risk of recession says JPMorgan - Business Insider From a purely personal gains pov, I hope the US economy goes into recession this year. On top of that, there are enough economists and Warren Buffet predicting the same occurrence.

And here's some reality-He's the highest polling Republican, and possibly running candidate.

The US economy is not showing real growth, but really over-hyped values through quantitative easing Obama put the economy through to boast growth numbers. It will not contain itself, and will burst soon. There is a reason Warren Buffet is holding his tens of billions worth of stocks in his...

US economy is going to collapse in 2016.

Less than 30 seconds after wishing his audience a merry Christmas, Trump heaped insults on Jeb Bush. Billionaire Donald Trump sees economic clouds hovering above the U.S. economy. And if it's going to rain, he wants the precipitation to fall while President Barack Obama is still in the White...

And? I know about it already, thanks.

The space shuttle has wings for flight control. The Falcon 9 is a rocket booster. It can't glide. I presume it is cheaper to use a re-usable rocket booster than to re-use a space-plane with moving parts. Look at the Sierra Nevada-That's similar to what you're asking.

Every component is 100% reusable in the first stage. If you do a water landing, you'll destroy sensitive equipment onboard. Landing on hard ground will damage equipment even more. There's quite a velocity and subsequent force when things hit ground via parachutes.

It looks like all those Grasshopper test flights paid off

My mistake-I misunderstood it for 'if it's not american, it's not up to par.' By the way, thread is getting derailed. If you want to talk about american spaceflight, y'all might want to open up one in a different portion of the forums. Regarding this article, we can agree that it's superficial...

By the way, if you read the above, I did just praise Spacex for effort, because I have many of my old classmates and friends working there; I just hate the company for a personal conflict with them in 2011, but that's besides the point. And, who cares if they are an american company? You are...

I agree with the competition part. Competition is also what drove the Gemini, then Apollo missions; government ran. What I'm trying to say is, don't disregard something simply because it's government ran and managed projects may I remind you. Look at what RFP's commercial companies are working...

You're such an idiot: HS2: the UK looks to China - Railway Technology Nothing about any solid deals being met. You're about to get banned noob...

I don't know why I'm tagged in this post, but I do admire India's natural landscape. Unfortunately, many can't escape the stereotypes and have to associate everything India with poverty. It's sad that the human brain is wired in such a way, and I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, because I...

The SLS has as much chance as any commercial crew proposal. That is, what mood congress is in the day the new administration steps in. My friends and I know this part far too well. Leadership of space travel? as in what, policies or technological development? Policies are independent of each...

No, I mean CCDev. At least it was called that when I was still involved with NewSpace 2011-2012. NASA - CCDev Information To be quite frank, putting a space capsule in orbit is still deemed as putting a satellite in space; an artificial one. Who's going fuel Spacex' demand for their Mars...

What I mean is the sole primary customer-Thanks for your sarcasm, even though you probably know what I meant. The whole Falcon 9 design was created for the CCDev project; so was the ATK Liberty project, the ULA Atlas V+Boeing CST100, and the Sierra Nevada DreamChaser. That's the life and bread...
