    pfft. sure the chinese space program rains down booster parts and hypergolic fuels on their citizens. it’s not like they’re targeting children in schools though. and if they did target schools, their government would probably do something.

    unlike some places lol.

        vs not stopping your own

        you don’t think it’s an action of our government that we allow dangerous and unqualified idiots combat weapons?

          You don’t think it won’t be greatly more difficult, and complicated, to corrected the litany of systemic issues that lead to mass shootings, in the US, vs just not launching spacecraft this close to populated areas?

          pfft

              No, it hasn’t. The point is, when you aren’t being intentionally obtuse, that it actually would not be a multi-decade process that would require a large restructuring of laws, economics, medical care, etc. to move the launch facility, to a place where the rocket takes off from a low population area, with a trajectory over a place with no urban areas.

                bwahaha, no, for the CCP, it would be even more monumentally hard:

                they’d have to start caring about their citizens.

                we pay lip service to such things, but neither gov really cares in the end. whether it’s a chinese rocket or a colt AR clone ‘pistol’ neither really give a flying fuck.
