As to which side I’m referring to, try and guess.

SpaceX launches new test rockets accepting they might explode or fail midflight, so engineers get flight experience quickly. It’s one reason why SpaceX can move through development more rapidly than NASA and other companies that are more reluctant to fail in public.

“More reluctant to fail” is better described, at least when referring to NASA, as “anaphylacticly allergic to failure”. Unfortunately that allergy leads to spending a billion dollars per launch, which is why SpaceX is the leading launch provider, worldwide.

“We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void,” Paul Wooten, associate justice of the Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department in New York, wrote in the Wednesday ruling. The court’s 3-1 ruling determined that the state’s constitution clause that reads “every citizen shall be entitled to vote” only referred to U.S. citizens.

Because to allow otherwise is to allow foreign influence over our elections, and therefore undermines democratic rule.

I wonder how far it could shoot a Lincoln Continental X-100.
