Hats off to Elon Musk and Space X. A huge rocket booster, almost as tall as a football field is long, launched a similarly huge payload and then navigated itself back to its launch point and settled in to a specially designed catching mechanism, to be refurbished and launched once again. Anyone with the least appreciation for physics and chemistry will understand how monumental a feat that was. No matter your politics, you have to appreciate Elon Musk and his contributions to private industry space travel.

Elon is huge asset to the USA and humanity.  I watched the landing.  It was AWESOME!!  My respect for him continues to grow.  Having him agree to lead the commission on government waste is encouraging.  Remember, he cut Xwitter payroll by about 80%, never shut down, managed to make massive changes with less crew, and is working today with the reduced payroll.  I am sure the government can withstand simular cuts. 

Since Carter created the DOE the education in ths counrty has gone from 5th to about 27th place in the world.  Why does it still exist? The last stat I saw was the schools get about 7% of their money from the FEDS but give them total control of the product. It's insane!!  It is also where all the woke BS comes from.
