The dumbest part of our national discourse at this moment is:

Oh those crazy space billionaires!

How dumb are Bezos, Musk, Branson—spending $1 billion building rockets to fly themselves to space?

What a silly Gilded Age echo of ego, indulgence, not to mention tone-deafness.
2/ Linked below a recent example of this from @washingtonpost —but this mindless ignorance is everywhere.

You know what Branson, Bezos and Musk have done in the last 20 years?

They've each created original rocket technology that flies humans to space.

3/ Bezos & Musk *already* do something NASA & its contractors never have:

They send rockets to space, & re-fly them. Quickly, inexpensively, reliably.

You know, like Southwest 're-uses' its Boeing 737s.

That is an incredible, thrilling breakthrough.

And vital to space travel.
