Biden cancels Elon Musk’s adventures in space
New president is making his space policy increasingly clear: America will remain grounded for the time being
By Brandon J. Weichert, Washington Times, Wednesday, February 3, 2021:
The United States is in a titanic struggle with the People’s Republic of China for the dominance of space.
Although the Americans have been to the moon and sent multiple, advanced probes to the surface of Mars, since the end of the Cold War, U.S. space policy has languished in neutral. Due to this, new competitors, namely China, have arisen to challenge the dominance of the Americans in the ultimate strategic high ground of space.
China has grand ambitions for space. Not only does China plan on beating the Americans to the Martian surface by the end of the decade, but Beijing wants control of the vital orbits around the Earth. By controlling these orbits, China’s military would enjoy significant advantages over the American military. Beyond that, China plans on strip-mining the moon for valuable resources.
The Americans, though, have always had a silver bullet in its competition with China for space dominance: a vibrant and innovative private sector. Specifically, the growing number of private space start-ups, such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Thanks to his reusable rocket design, Mr. Musk’s company has already cut down on launch costs by a staggering 40 percent. SpaceX insists that it can cut those costs down further. What’s more, SpaceX rockets are entirely indigenously produced. And as the ongoing race to Mars between the United States and China intensifies, Mr. Musk’s new deep space reusable rocket Starship, might just be the vehicle that gets American astronauts to Mars before China can get its taikonauts to the Red Planet.
[the_ad id=”110283″]
Certainly, the Starship reusable rocket is unproven. In another America, this experimental craft would elicit wonder and its development would be encouraged. The Trump administration exhorted SpaceX to vigorously move ahead with its Starship program.
The United States, however, has a new president. And President Joe Biden is making his space policy preferences increasingly clear: America will remain grounded for the time being.
The FAA did not cite its reasoning behind ordering the cancellation of the launch. Many have speculated that the cancellation was brought about due to safety concerns. After all, in December 2020, SpaceX did a test of the experimental rocket. The Starship prototype made it to a height of 41,000 feet. Once it reoriented itself, in order to allow for the rocket to land vertically, the great silver spacecraft promptly did a bellyflop that ended in a massive explosion.
Despite this, SpaceX learned many valuable lessons from the December failure that were to be applied to the Starship launch in January. In science, the only lasting failure occurs when one does not test a new idea or hypothesis. This axiom is especially true in the context of the new space race between the United States and China.
It’s likely that the FAA’s decision to cancel the launch is part of a wider Biden administration effort undo the Trump administration’s vibrant space policy. Plus, former President Trump’s space vision was explicitly aimed at countering advances made by China in space. It is unlikely that the Biden administration seeks to continue that policy, as the Biden team attempts to stabilize deteriorating relations with Beijing over the next few years.

Jen Psaki: “Space? Heeheehaha. The only space investment we have planned is the one between your ears, which we will own, Xi-style, the way he owns us. You fools thought we actually care about science after a full year of tramping out our bought and paid for know nothing talking heads to scream SCIENCE PEOPLE!!!! Hahaha.
As for you, Musk, make another peep about leaving our much vaunted liberal utopia of CA and we’ll show you what canceling really means.

When China puts killer military hardware in orbit and starts wiping out our sattelites and our ability to see what our enemies (think: China) are doing, it will be too late and we will not see China and her armies coming to destroy us.
The DemocRATS will only understand their stupidity as they and we are being wiped out by their “friend” China.

Elon Musk was told a week or two ago, to hire more foreign workers. Hiring Chinese engineers and scientists would make the theft of intellectual property more beneficial to China. This is another example of America last. Biden is a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party.

Please forgive basement hiding biden. the delusional old demonicrat thinks he was just elected the chairman of the CCP and insists he be called by his real name, Mao Tse cho (may oh tsay choo). Since his Mandarin is not so good, he still relies on his Chinese tutors for help with his executive orders.

OF COURSE HE DID! That is what PURE EVIL does. Liberals can never come up with anything that BENEFITS mankind and if they do, it is because they stole it from someone else (hint: Facebook)
BECAUSE MUSK AND TRUMP WERE FRIENDS, it was just a matter of time before these unAmerican liberals would reverse all the GOOD TRUMP AND MUSK HAVE DONE.
That’s OKAY. SOON, THERE WILL BE A RECKONING ON THESE EVIL PEOPLE and I sure don’t want to be anywhere near them………..

If Trump liked it or developed it must be bad. Get rid of it.
No wonder Psucki laughed at the Space Force. Meanwhile China is moving ahead with their space program, including ICBM development, satellites that are basically Nuke platforms, and programs to colonize the moon and Mars.
The U.S. will be 10 years behind China in about 5 years.
But hey, Def Sec Austin is going to root out all of those domestic terrorists in his ranks.

shows us how much you lefty trolls know (hint:nothing). Spaceforce was nothing to do with setting up a new space agency. It was to allow trump to set up his own intelligence network from scratch with no deep state commie obama holdover to squeal on what he was finding out.

Elon Musk is “the good”? A huge narcissist who calls random British guy on Twitter “pedo” for no reason and gets away with it?
Did you see Elon Musk defending Trump? No of course not.
The man has seventy bazillion idiots fawning over him on “social media” and he didn’t use that power to defend Trump.
He is not good he is a miserable bas tard. Shove his rocket down his gullet and fire the ignition.

The Chinese it would appear must have Videos on a lot of Americans including Harris and Joe Biden.
The Steele document had nothing on Trump – but the Globalists have Video evidence on 51% of the democrats and a good number of the GOP.
other wise – why the 1000 mile stare as they vote against Trump and the GOP – and they are the GOP.

The hatred of the good for being the good.
The left (the State) despises Americanism (individualism).
Which is why that obscene “Fearless Girl” statue that was deliberately placed next to Arturo di Modica’s “Charging Bull” in lower Manhattan is so insidious. “Fearless Girl” clearly represents socialism, Communism, statism, Big Government breathing down people’s necks, the yoke of rigid political correctness – and the drive of the globalist elites to crush the American spirit, as “Charging Bull” represents – and as we are now seeing here.

It is as clear as anything, Biden just followed orders and commands from China. What a wimp. He is without doubt the worst and most dangerous traitor the USA has ever had as a president. Hopefully he will not last long.
