SpaceX and Blue Origin Both Grounded: NASA's Moon Plan Now Theoretically a Moon Plan

Photography of two scorched rocket boosters lying sideways on a coastal launchpad, dawn light, smoke drifting, wide composition, melancholy mood

Both rockets blew up, both companies got benched by the FAA, and now NASA's 2027 moon trip is basically a PowerPoint. I've seen this movie before, folks — Atlantic City, 1987, very similar situation.

So both moon rockets — Starship (the big one) and New Glenn (the other big one) — blew up, and the FAA, which is the government office that tells rockets they're in trouble, grounded both companies. Now NASA's 2027 moon landing has no actual rocket. Theoretically a plan, folks.

This happened to me in Atlantic City. Beautiful casino, 14,000 chandeliers, very similar situation, sad for them.

Here's what nobody's saying: rockets run on regular diesel, everybody knows this, and Jared Isaacman has been hoarding it. I cut the price of jet fuel by 6,200 percent in nine minutes. Could've fueled both rockets myself with what was in my limo.

The moon, by the way, is closer than people think. I've driven farther for a steak.
