Two things, mainly. They do a lot of the production steps in-house, as opposed to having a web of subcontractors (who have their own subcontractors)for each component. But the big thing is just efficiency of scale. Building and launching 100 rockets per year doesn't cost 100 times more than one launch per year.

They don't need more training. They need consequences

If you knew it was bullshit, why did you post it? Shame on you

One of my favorites!

All 3 books in the first uplift series work fine as stand-alone stories. But book 1 (Sundiver) does kinda read like a prequel to the rest of the series. The inciting incident of Startide Rising is what sets everything else in motion for all subsequent books, and Sundiver takes place before that. But it does have a bunch of world building that is helpful context for the other books (and is still a fun story).

I recommend you read Startide Rising first, then circle back to Sundiver if you are enjoying the world and the author's style.

Why is that a problem?

You don't even start panting, because that is a response to CO2 buildup

Also does not contain any concrete allegations regarding election fraud.

Is your precious "stabbed in the back"narrative so much more important to you than engaging with reality?

The linked article fails to even make any concrete allegations. It simply refers to Donna Brazile's book.

I didn't see any election fraud. Can you explain how the fraud worked?

It reads like different people wrote different sections of it

"nobody loves you" doesn't mean not having a lover (or fuckbuddy).

Why not ask him to personally murder a Republican governor? After all, your guy Trump would do it...
