    A thought: Each Senator should be assigned a random salary between $15,080 and $174,000, then forced to live on it for a year, then randomized again. Maybe then they’d have more empathy.

    It’s obscene that senators making $174,000 are able to keep minimum wage workers from making more than $15,080/year.

    This is sobering. Helpful, but sobering.

    It’s why we might eventually move to a 3 dose Pfizer Moderna mRNA vaccine and a 2 dose JnJ vaccine: 1) higher virus neutralizing antibodies, 2) greater durability, 3) cross protections vs VOCs with the final boost specific for the SGTF

    Click for full: Falcon 9 launches Starlink 21 this morning, the third launch from Cape Canaveral in ten days. A shot I've been wanting to get for years. The river is rarely so glassy!

    While standing in line to get vaccinated, I was thinking about the 8 million ads I’d made about how government involvement in medicine was socialized hell. Maybe, just maybe, it was all a lie.

    This drastically reduces the odds of survival if Starship has to land away from the launch tower. With legs, it could theoretically land on any hard flat surface in an emergency. Is that a consideration?

    Replying to @tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight
    Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster
