It's not perfect, but capitalism is the best system we've got. It is only through competition on the free market that we would arrive at a space program this efficient and innovative. Imagine if the government tried to do this! They would've blown up a 100 rockets by now with nothing to show for it, and it would've cost tax payers billions of dollars. The innovation of SpaceX is humanity at it's finest. For thousands of years we've looked up at the sky, and wondered what's there, and now, thanks to the engineering chops of Elon Musk, it is within our grasp. Imagine that, sending a person to space. Maybe someday we'll even be able to put someone on the moon!
Good gods! Captain, The ambient sarcasm readings are off the charts!

I hate the guy's guts as much as anybody else, but he has kickstarted a space race, and an EV market. Credit where it's due.
And yeah I know, rich daddy, no inventions, all evolutionary, etc. But here we are.
What space race?
NASA us working on a shoestring budget and managed to run some very successful missions. The Artemis Program is/was very succesful, and what does NASA get?
Budget cuts. Money diverted to SpaceX who, under Elon, has yet to do a single succesful mission (the Dragon capsule and reusable rockets were both projects that Elon bought. Starship is the first project that Elon directed).

You do not hate the guy's guts as much as anybody else, or as much as is reasonable. You do not in fact have to give it to the Nazi scum. Any success or credit is due to the employees of the companies the inept pathetic narcissistic pro-fascism scumfuck is undeservedly running, often on fire and into the ground. If the resources he's hoarding would be allocated by a reasonable, competent and humanist entity, we would all be much better off. Musk would be better off the planet. Shame that he missed this flight.

My feed rn:
reached an altitude of 890 feet
Kids science projects make reusable rockets that go higher.

Have they published its drug test results yet?

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

He didn't invent EVs, nor batteries, nor rockets, not even vertically landing rockets, but perfected and especially turned them onto massive success. Too bad he went full idiot.

Definitely this is the same take as "well the Nazis did a bunch of medical research"

The efficiency of this is amazing, instead of actually sending it up, and waiting for it to blow up, they have figured out how to blow it up on the ground BEFORE launch. This is the kind of efficiency we need in government programs.

Japanese cars are superior to American cars, why wouldn't their rockets be?
Japanese cars are superior to American cars
I had a high school friend who went on to become an engineer at General Motors. One of his first projects for them was tearing down an Infiniti and a Lexus when those cars first came on the market. He said that at the time, GM cars typically had between 300 and 400 production defects of varying severity. When they took apart the Infiniti, they found 2 production defects; when they took apart the Lexus, they found 0.

Such a remarkable achievement! We should put capitalists on the Starship ASAP so they can enjoy the fruits of "their" labor!

Many miss that Musk's companies don't have any measure of success because of him, but instead have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn't have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.

Perfected
Press X to doubt
Making something popular via a lot of lying and false marketing is not something I would've thought to read as perfected.

It’s not a big deal when you’re blowing up someone else’s money with no real accountability.

Is LOX and methane really that bad?
I was thinking hydrazine. I don't know what this rocket was using.

NGL got me in the first part

I would ride a Honda rocket a hundred times before ever setting foot on anything developed by SpaceX
I imagine riding a rocket like final boss fight in Just Cause 2.

Ive only ever heard from third parties that spaceX sucks to work for because they way over work you. Idk if thats actually true. But this kind of thing makes me wonder…
That's the genious behind musk, overwork people 10%, gain 10%!!!!
