Hi u/ChrisNSF

Thank you for replying to my tongue-in-cheek inquiry. To be serious (really), believe SpaceX have an excellent shot at Mars because it's their corporate mission and everything they do assists this endeavour. NASA's efforts are entirely more diffuse hence it's very likely SpaceX will precede NASA to Mars IMO. Scary thing is NASA's logo might be nowhere near BFR because they are tied to SLS. In addition groups inside NASA mighgt be opposed to SpaceX landings, such as planetary protection, anyone engaged in sample return and various safety committees (due to the fact SpaceX intend to send crew without sufficient fuel to return). Hence first landings could effectively be shunned by NASA and become a SpaceX exclusive operation IMO. Please, if I have somehow misjudged NASA or SpaceX, only glad to hear your opinion and happy to be proved wrong.

BTW I looked into this quite deeply for my book and need to verify facts before I publish next edition.

Excellent question! I'm Jeff Who. In the government, if you want to move money to black ops, you use loopholes in regulations for federal contractors to shift money between divisions outside federal oversight.

Amazon uses secret products that if you buy them, it funnels profits directly to my BO. The BO project is funded entirely by sales of this product.

Yep I bought one shortly after Starship was announced. It’s actually a decent shaker too. $32 on Amazon.

About 2/3 of people in North America are women, people of colour, and/or LGBTQ people. Yet in terms of media representation, or in terms of positions of power — in politics and business — way less than 2/3 is allocated to people in these groups.

Over time, the allocation will trend closer to 2/3. Social justice activism is about attempting to speed up that change.

As previously underrepresented and disempowered groups of people gain representation and power, it's going to be uncomfortable and maybe even scary for people outside those groups. Perhaps particularly for the roughly 1/3 of people in North America who are straight white men. The status quo is going to be disrupted. There is going to be change. It's not going to be clean or easy or comfortable.

The best we can do as this transition toward gender, racial, and LGBTQ equality continues over the years and decades is to try to soften. To empathize, to consider, to listen — to not react instantly, but to pause, breathe, and think it over. People with a different experience of gender, race, and sexual orientation tend to — statistically — have a different life experience overall. We can't assume everyone else's experience is the same as ours. That means if we want to understand where people different from us are coming from — why they're angry, for instance — we need to really try to understand a life experience that might be foreign to us.

A lot of conflict and distress around social justice issues really is down to just a lack of knowledge. It was easier to demonize gay people when the majority view was that 1) being gay has high comorbidity with severe mental illness (independent of the effects of discrimination and systemic inequality), 2) that committed, healthy, long-term gay romantic relationships were rare or just didn't happen, and 3) that gay people were much more likely than straight people to sexually predate on children.

Over time, as gay people organized into activist groups and gained visibility, these myths crumbled. New knowledge about what gay people's lives are actually like made inequality less easy to rationalize.

This same process is constantly unfolding, with different groups of people. At least until theast few years, most men were unaware of the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and sexual assault that women experience. As more men learn the truth, more men share the anger that activist women express.

There is a scientific humility and open-mindedness we can bring to this process. We know that different people have different experience, and we know (in large part from an extensive social science literature) that people statistically have very different life experience along the lines of gender, race, and sexual orientation. Knowing that, do we assume that we already understand everyone's experience, that the status quo must be justified, and if some people aren't happy with the status quo, it must be their fault? Do we resist and resent the discomfort that comes with 2/3 of people getting 2/3 of the representation and power?

Or do we reserve judgment, and try to absorb new information from people who have a different life experience? Do we soften into empathy, and accept that discomfort may be the cost of constructive social change?
