And those space GPUs will ALWAYS be obsolete before launch because they will need to hardened against solar/cosmic radiation. Ground GPUs will always outperform their orbiting counterparts.

In an IR course I was taking years ago had a reading on rivalries and conflict. Basically laying out the conditions to define a rivalry and how it leads to conflict. Something like a dozen different examples over the last 150+ years. Yet they never mentioned India/Pakistan once. Unbelievable.

And honestly the main problems aren’t on agreeing to a price on the front end. It’s all the cost/failure to cover/etc. once someone actually needs it. Even with the ACA premium assistance, I couldn’t afford all of my medications because they wouldn’t cover certain drugs for folks on ACA plans.

It will also require the House to be in session so the new Rep(s) will be sworn in (one way or the other).
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a total s**t sandwich but there was no “winning” move here. People ask why wait, because if the election results weren’t enough to budge the GOP, then nothing will.

I don’t think it was about that they’ll be more likely. I think they’ve realized they will never concede. Killing the ACA has always been a priority. Forcing a vote will get the GOP on record though. Plus you get SNAP fully funded through Y26, even though this only funds the govt through Jan 30.

The Electron has a 300kg lift capability, which is nowhere near the lift requirements of the needs of a G7 country.

Not sure they could get a single Falcon 9 launch from SpaceX for that much.

Should also mention the USDA has told grocery stores they can’t offer discounts to SNAP users (using the equal treatment rule ironically) even though they could grant temporary waivers to help folks out.
