    But people keep calling Isaacman “Isaacson”, so a more likely mix-up would be Elon Musk’s biographer, Walter!

    (People including, I think, multiple senators at the nomination hearing. And even Robert Zubrin recently.)

      even Robert Zubrin

      For those who don’t know, Zubrin is the gentle & touchy-feely author of joyfully uplifting & empowering self-help books, who also talks about Mars sometimes.

        He is also an advocate for U.

        I feel honoured to have Zubrin as my advocate.

      Depends whether the only other two countries to ever achieve human spaceflight are: a single-party state (proto-Borg?), and a gangster nation that occasionally tries to take over a neighbouring nation and steal its children (part Romulan?).
