Commercial rocket launches have grown exponentially more frequent in recent years. ...

potential candidate Musk
He can't run. Lewzer won't have SCOTUS change that rule. Elon will have to find another surrogate.

Finally! Trump is taking on The Big Moneyed Interests. In this case, it's Big Jewish Space Laser. Biden wouldn't do that.
