President Musk said he won't allow any waste under his new department of efficiency. What a joke...

[PhilippaRobb-cnqs]

Well done Columbia and Mexico. Sad for the people who are going back and forth.

[gregfraser]

It surprises me that they were able to get that many flights into the air so soon. A bit of a concern that the military is so quick to facilitate too.

[parmstrong]
