    Hedgehobbit got a reaction from Korgoth in Western Hero 6th edition   
    I'm baffled on how to respond because what your saying has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
     
    In the Gunsmoke episode, Charles Bronson, aka The Killer, is goading cowpokes to draw on him and then killing them and claiming self defense. Marshal Dillan knows the guy is trouble but can't arrest him (or shoot him) because he hasn't committed a crime. His only choice is to get The Killer to draw on him which is complicated further by the fact that The Killer is quicker on the draw than the Marshal. This modern white-hattery forms the basis of the drama of the episode.
     
    A similar situation occurs in the opening of Fistfull of Dollars, when Clint is demanding the men apologize to his mule to get them to draw their guns so he can kill them all.
     
    Or in True Grit, where Rooster is on trial for shooting an unarmed man while serving an arrest warrant. 
     
    You can exclude all these iconic scenes as modern legalism, but if you make a western RPG that excludes Gunsmoke, Fistful of Dollars and True Grit, I'm not sure what you have left.

    SpaceX hasn't put up another livestream notice and neither Elon nor SpaceX have tweeted out any additional information since the abort. I'm not very confident that there will be another try today. 
     
    If I had to bet, I'd say that they will switch to vertical flight a bit too early (to avoid a high speed crash) and have trouble landing straight down. This is because the Raptor isn't fully throttleable and bleeding off speed will be difficult. 
     
    I'm also looking forward to Astra's next launch attempt which should be in a few days along with another launch by ULA's Delta IV.

    You can sum up Herzog's critique as "not an argument". To claim that going to Mars is obscene because fascism and communism existed is completely bonkers. 
     
    Besides, Elon Musk is destined to go to Mars, as the leader of Mars has been called "The Elon" since 1952.
