Or, obviously, they did not know about this or they thought he would not be so stupid as to actually carry out yet another of his silly promises or they preferred him for other reasons which outweighed this.

Expecting others, especially those with far less resources, to do something to save yourself instead of doing something yourself is not a good way to behave.

They voted for Trump for a variety of reasons.
That does not mean they cannot be opposed to lots of the stupid shit he does.
And that does not change the fact that saving the planet and the future public while inconveniencing the present public is a case where the government SHOULD make laws.

I think adaptors are relatively simple.

I suspect a lander could be made to fit inside Starship.

The man rating is the hard part I think, and that will be easier for a small craft like BO's lander(s) than a large one like Starship.
The BO lander can use a simple, single-shot engine like the Apollo LEM ( which I hope BO have already tested comprehensively ) whereas Starship will need to be tested with (I think) multiple relighting engines on the surface ( which AFAIK Spacex have not tested since the early SN tests, which launched from a stand. ).

I love Starship, it will totally change access to space, but a BO lander seems more likely to me at the moment.

The fact that the government is mandating seatbelts means that most people don't care.
The fact that the government is mandating speed limits means that most people don't care.
The fact that the government is mandating drink drive limits means that most people don't care.

Time to repeal those laws as well. Let the people die.

Ditto for Musk.

Likewise, I loathe etc. Trump, but he has done things no other president has ever come close to - if only they were for the common good - and Hitler's painting weren't bad.

Normal, decent people can say things like that. They accept facts are facts.
Fanatics, whether hateful woke or retarded right, cannot.
