Given how rare large swaths of flat land are to come by on the California Coast and how dire the state is in need of housing its surprising to me that the Salinas Valley hasn't been developed more its only got 390K people!

It's even worse than that. Imagine building 4 Bugattis. That you then need to tow almost everything to build a new Bugatti motorhome on a nearby mountaintop, while slipping cash to your broke drunk neighbor to finish his half of the project.
Replying to @SpaceKoala
The ISS is like if you only ever made one bugatti and it cost $150 billion.

This is one of the most depressing trends in Democratic Party politics. How can we credibly make the case to govern if 2/3 of our party don’t take pride in the country they want to lead?
I think it would be great if this were true but I am quite doubtful.

The Jones Act is the bedrock of the U.S. maritime and shipping industry. @TransportDems are protecting American-made ships and jobs as costs continue to rise from the Administration’s war with Iran.
Community note
The U.S. ship building industry is “near collapse” according to the GAO, despite the Jones Act being in place since 1920. Today, U.S. ships cost 5x as much as foreign ships. U.S. flagged commercial ships declined 94% from 1960-2025, while the global fleet doubled. gao.gov/assets/gao-25-… nytimes.com/2025/05/27/bus… maritime.dot.gov/sites/marad.do…? kentclarkcenter.org/surveys/the-jo…

CIA please recruit this student they’re already fighting the good fight
It’s been two years since the encampments so I wanted to say that my local one fell apart almost entirely because one careerist international student idpol’d a majority of participants into thinking it was “white privilege” to break any university policies

You know you’re in the wrong when you post a TWENTY TWO MINUTE long video to try to explain why you’re not. Good grief.

1) Retarded 2) Even with starship it’s just not cheap enough yet, would totally do it though 3) Totally reasonable 4) For NASA and private groups sure but not nearly as lucrative as 3 for a long time 5) Meh, He3 I guess 6) 3 is still better but fine 7) Not for a long long time

Orbital manufacturing and potentially energy generation later on is absolutely a huge market (especially if American voters continue to be idiots), the others are potential markets for the end of the century but most certainly not within the next 25 years at scale

I don’t see why anyone should put much stock on what contra thinks about these though, a drunk sophomore in industrial engineering is likely more qualified to speak on the subject

A completely dishonest characterization of facilities engaged in benign basic biological, medical, and veterinary research. It is no different from research performed in the U.S. or Europe. Ukraine only has a few facilities rated BSL-3 and none rated BSL-4.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

“The P-51 could fly longer on a tank than the lifespan of the Me-262’s engine.”

Curious in what regards you think the 262 was a "radically" better fighter. It was faster and had better armament but it had so many flaws and was a heavily compromised design due to the material shortages. The 51 could fly longer on a tank than the life span of a 262 engine
