Conflict of interest?

I've been working on the Artemis program as a sub to Boeing the last 18 months. I've had a bad feeling this thing wasn't going to be successful based on all the schedule delays and cost growth we've been seeing. My personal opinion is that is a major waste of money, but was a cool mission none the less. Have had my eyes on the job boards for 6 months or so, ha!

Our good family friend is in mission control for Artemis and every time we see them the husband gives her hell about how bad it's going.

Just drive over to SpaceX. A little under an hour to get there.

Full stack is quite a sight up close.


Just saw it earlier today, can't believe you can drive and then park right up to the edge of the road .. lots of people out there today, oxygen trucks were unloading into the big horizontal tanks. Very cool, coming back next launch to watch, didn't want to hang out till Tuesday

I was in the Harlengin airport between 6 pm and 8 pm this evening, I didn't see Elon, he probably has his own hangar!

I was out at SpaceX and the launch pad yesterday, IMO Elon needs to fix his security out at Space X..there is no fence between the road that goes to Boca Chica beach and the launch pad, someone can literally walk around onto the site and cause problems, there was some security guys but they weren't doing a whole lot. not sure why they don't have big tall security fences, plus handling all those liquid oxygen trucks, that's some dangerous stuff, I wouldn't want the public around that stuff too much. I would put up fences if I were him.

You should've seen it 2-3 years ago.

We'll be out there to watch tomorrow. Should be perfect viewing with the sun at our backs this time.

Lucky. I'm thinking about trying to get down there for a launch this coming summer with my youngest. Whenever the Mars stuff launches in 26 we will definitely go down for one of those. Lucky to have this in Texas.

It's probably more secure than we realize. The nuclear missle silo on our old family ranch is unmanned. But anyone unknown entering the county is kind of kept an eye on. On the silo itself, there are lots of motion sensors and cameras. If something were to set off the sensors, you have about 10-15 minutes before a couple fighters will fly over from Warren followed by soldiers in trucks about an hour later. Not enough time to do anything really dangerous. I'm sure SpaceX is somewhat similar in that there are more eyes than you think.

I strongly support our elected officials understanding space and exploration policy and the real impacts our commercial sector is making in comparison to our traditional government run programs.
