Just to be clear - Elon Musk is not a rocket engineer. He neither came up with the concept, design or manufacturing processes for this system.

Neither is he a car designer, or a satellite communications expert.

He's a money man and a hype man. He's very good at both of these.

p.s. he's South African by birth, but presumably now a naturalised US citizen.

Botswanan. His genius was to have an Emerald Mine owning father.

I thought it was possible if one parent was born in the USA, I recall this came up when Trump was making claims about Obama ie as his mother was US born it made Trumps agenda moot?

Nope. Obama was born in Hawaii. That made him natural born.

The most questionable candidate was actual John McCain. He was born in the Panama canal zone, which was considered US territory at the time.

I know he was born in Hawaii. My point was that during the debate about his birth place, it was stated his birth place was actually irrelevant as the legal status of “natural born” can be given to someone born outside the US. This is by virtue of their patents. I remember reading this at the time and the BBC link I posted above suggests the same.

But in Moonraker one of the rockets developed a fault too, so Drax just nicked one to make the British look stupid and was absolutely fine again. Even when Roger Moore rumbled what he was doing in Venice, Drax cleared it all up in time and made the British look even more stupid when Bond walked in with M and the Minster of Defence. Drax even cracked a joke about the British and the Minster of Defence had to apologise to him. You could tell Drax had some weird, ego maniac, obsession about both the British and space.

A shame. What I like about Canada is that it’s like the US but without Americans.

Without Trump supporting Americans and there are some real differences. Canada allowed Quebec to govern differently. Louisiana was never allowed that. Before the Louisiana Purchase by Thomas Jefferson it was determined that Quebec & Louisiana would be linked up as New France. Therefore a lot of the US would have been in New France including the area around the Great Lakes.

So if you invent some great discovery and patent it then you can become President?
