I’m referring to the rockets intended for travelling to the moon and beyond (primarily the Starship), which has already failed thrice, has innumerable issues and massive cost overruns.

Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.

A lot of polls offer incentives to take them, and in these times, it’s not unsurprising that some people would respond.

And what is the rest of EU’s energy mix?

I don’t think it counts as stealing- syncretism is present in virtually every faith that has contact with another faith, modern and ancient.

Write a letter to your governor - when it happened in my province, he arrived post haste to set them straight. Some of the so-called Christians repudiated their false god, and the rest were imprisoned, and since then, all but three of them have also repudiated him. Those three speak of being ‘martyrs’, but the families of the rest are incredibly grateful to the governor for making them see sense, and have organised a sacrifice and a feast in celebration!

💖💖💖💖💖ad infinitum- my love of girl bulge is vast, but my hatred of capitalism and imperialism, and more so capitalist imperialism, is infinite.

But the inverse also applies - there’s not much stopping wizards from portkeying/apparating into the Oval Office or the pentagon and magibombing them, or Avada-ing key targets. Wizards are probably the worst kind of guerrilla fighters - ones unchecked by range. And as far as food is concerned, food multiplication is a thing. I personally believe that in the long term, the way muggles would win would be through subverting wizards, not by pure overwhelming force.

But they were able to setup the core of their commercial and governance infrastructure in the middle of London, with no particular notice from muggles - not to mention, we know that the government already knows about wizards (MoM liaises with the PM). So there must be a quid pro quo already in place, with the government tolerating and aiding in the existence of a semi-independent polity in their heartlands in return for unspecified benefits, probably defence against foreign wizards.
