IF Trapped in an elevator with Musk or Trump, I'm a Musk man.
Even Trumps digestive system is rotton. Besides I like ideas over hate.

You'll never get me up on one of those. I'm with Joe Offer; Elon Musk is way too Trumpy to be trusted.

The President and his sidekick Pense just arrived a little late at which point Elon Musk immediately scrubbed the flight due to weather sighting of lightning in the last half hour.

Trump grumbled about a **** waste of time and may drag this out with an Investigation that is rumored to be called Elon Gate.

I switched from the Science Channel to the Discovery channel and apparantly Miralax is also their sponsor. It has me wondering if an astronaut needs Miralax laxative after the main engines kick in and they go to 7 g's in 20 seconds..
Cool, the seats are Ricarro race car seats. Uh oh, the controls are all touch screen. They have just changed the Master of Ceremonies to the guy who does Overhauling and Mercum auto auctions.

I think I'll come back in an hour

Liftoff is at 4:33 AT. I'll go back then. I've never been a big fan of pre-game shows.

Mucinex is going into orbit as a precaution in this immunocomplex mission by SpaceX complete with socal distancing.
Tornado warnings were mentioned and the announcer is more suited for a sporting event or dog show. Tensions are rising, the countdown has begun and THEY HAVE cut to a Verizon commercial followed by Good RX and a Miralax commerial.

If we get clear skies, the ISS will be visible in the UK at around 21:20, followed by Space-X at 21:50 tonight. Look west, just to the right of the moon, they will be travelling to overhead.

I don't think SpaceX has the track record yet to be transporting humans

Well Elon says he has more successful launches that the US based competition, & points to the level of insurance he pays on each launch, and reckons it is much less.

There are compounding factors like the value of the payload, and his charges for each launch which he brags are half the price. But, who, other than Roscosmos have any current track record on transporting humans to the ISS?
