Definitely agreed on cars, but Japan's last few moon missions had several catastrophic failures unfortunately.
I'll have to read up on that. I didn't know they had tried anything because of the whole can't make missiles thing.

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.
I worked on the Lexus line in Georgetown, KY one summer between semesters. Their standards are insane. Worked the Toyota Camry line the summer before that.
On the Camry line, if they found a defect, they would correct it, then have a QC stand there and inspect every affected car for the next month.
I stood on the line with a screwdriver to check the tightness of a single screw on every sunroof in Camrys. It was so heavily coriographed, it was like a dance.

We can't even handle being a multi-country species, maybe Elon should dial back the sci-fi "multi-planet" miniseries playing in his head...

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.
kickstarted a space race
hah no

It's getting more efficient by the day. They used to have to launch it into the air before it had blow up. This way it saves time

I miss Reddit so some musky can tell me about how blowing up your spaceships is part of the engineering process and how this is good.
they were funny

“Look at what I can do” -Elon musk while throwing a Nazi salute
i thought Nazis were at least competent at making rockets.

Whoop whoop! I hope it caused a lot of damage.
a lot of tax payer money just give byebye, mostly, part of it went straight into Musk's pocket

that's how we know Musk isn't a Nazi, Nazis could make rockets.
/s
(he is a nazi, just an incompetent one)

It’s not a big deal when you’re blowing up someone else’s money with no real accountability.
I mean, SpaceX is a private company owned by Musk…

....That takes money from the tax payers in the forms of grants and contracts (that it has not fulfilled).

German Nazis. Not South African immigrant nazis.

Hey there I didn’t complain or downvote but also declined to upvote cuz of the two little tiny words of ad hom…..
… (idea!) …
DINGUS! Dingus would’ve saved it!
ya dingus
Perfect, feels very Lemmy-appropriate—gets the insult with a perfect lulz factor so even the parent commenter could’ve kinda laughed (I hope ppl can take jokes!)
…sorry I know I’m not your mom, hope this doesn’t come across maximally prescriptive (just my 2c!)
I ain't using dingus firstly cause I'm pretty sure dankpods has a copyright on it and secondarily it has none of the gutteral bite that damned near every other insult in my dialect has. Also I go out of my way to commit some level of ad hom since I find that it's a fine way to figure out if folks have thick enough skin to take seriously, worst case scenario they throw a punch and that's just a good time for me.

so European nazis are better than African immigrant nazis?
did we just create a new layer of racism?

Only Nazis from the Nazi region of Germany, any other kind of Nazi is just a sparkling asshole

this but unironically. send all the billionaires to mars!
I mean, is it necessary to have a destination? Just get them going and let them sort it out from there.

He's just there to steal credit. Just like everything he's been a part of.

I think we did. But when it comes to Elon musk, he deserves a special kind of racism.
