HAL is a StarChild
At least he's trying...I don't see anyone else innovating like he is...I hope he succeeds. If you're relying on Boeing or New Glenn you will be waiting a lot longer if you care anything about exploring space.

The idea that "he" is doing anything is a complete fantasy. He's a marketer, not a scientist or engineer of any kind.
The nicest thing I can say about him is, he's a like a young boy with advanced autism who won the lottery. Instead of blowing all the money on toys, he hires a bunch of rocket scientists and says, "make me a cool spaceship". I'm more impressed with the rocket scientists than the kid signing the checks.

The idea that this guy is turning my tax dollars into rockets with nothing but his business genius is really annoying. And offensive to the real geniuses at SpaceX. Sorry.

So you really think he has had nothing to do with any of it? Alrighty then.

If I wanted to be charitable, he's Jobs to countless, faceless Woz's. Not "nothing" but way less than he gets credit for.

As someone who still uses an iPhone and an iMac, That pic makes me sad.
Just another example of why there are no ethical billionaires.

It's hard not to love a place that loves Linda.I'm in love with the ladies room bathroom door at this Manhattan upper west side Mexican place
It's especially a meaningful show of respect and admiration considering the location, which has a huge "admiration base" to select from...
This upper west side restaurant dug down into the roots of contemporary Southwest culture to choose an icon that
represents old and new world values.
@NYC_Frank This post delighted me.
While I am an old school NY "ethnic type", I lived for an adult lifetime in El Paso, Texas and Tucson, Arizona.
I've assimilated well enough. It does my heart good to see Metropolitan Folks find such a multi-faceted personification that means so much to so many. (OK... at least to me.)
I wish I was there to join you for lunch!

Hey Vito ... it did my heart a lot of good to see that door yesterday and your comments back ... she's always been, and still is, such a lovely lady ...

50 years ago on Wednesday, 30 October 1974, this iconic image of John Lennon was taken at Liberty Island , New York City, by his photograher, Bob Gruen 
.
I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of the photo from him in 1991 along with this one, which I'll hang again on May 1st.
It was over 80 degrees in NYC this year. John would've been wearing a sleeveless t shirt once more.
