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…
-
We shouldn’t be building rockets PERIOD. They cost too much and are eventually only going to serve trillionaires.
FIX SHIT ON THE GROUND FIRST
That said,
They did a test from 300 meters, sure it’s cool but I think they have a LONG way to go before they are competetive.
We can do both? What's a rocket scientist going to do about systemic oppression and the rise of fascism that excludes them from working on rockets still?

You've got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.
Separating the message from the messenger is a key skill. A right answer doesn't become wrong because it comes from a jerk.

I've heard the same. I'm sure it certainly doesn't help, but I think also what they're trying to do is really difficult

good.
sad that he wasn't on it though.
I feel bad for all the engineers etc who are working really hard on these projects, only to see their efforts tarnished by the flyblown image of the wanker who owns the company.

They never even made it to the launch.

Yep me being an uncouth asshole has little to no bearing on my point. It's like those uppity cunts who act like theyre better just cause they don't swear, usually they are morons I mean Mormons and thusly my inbuilt snob filter works wonders.

I think Honda has begun building spaceships/rockets too. Think they chose to build the type that don't explode. link
The front fell off.

You're absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.
(Sorry I don't mean it, I feel bad now...)

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren't a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it's a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.
It comes down to respect. Even if I'm wrong, treating me with respect will mean I'm more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I'm going to respect your argument.

Whoa. a subpar Elon project? SAY IT ISN'T SO!

it was towed out of the environment.

NASA funded SpaceX based on hitting milestones on their COTS program. Those were just as available to Boeing and Blue Origin, but they had less success meeting those milestones and making a profit under fixed price contracts (as opposed to the traditional cost plus contracts). It's still NASA-defined standards, only with an offloading of the risk and uncertainty onto the private contractors, which was great for SpaceX and terrible for Boeing.
But ultimately it's still just contracting.
Really interesting— I don’t follow this nearly enough, so thanks

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!)

It’s certainly not Honda-level reliability.

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.

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!

Musk is going to be PISSED when he finds out there is no bureau of physics he can subsume or destroy from within. I believe one Rush Stockton came to a similar conclusion, if he indeed had time for that conclusion to even form before perishing.

Can't wait for the documentary

At this point I'd expect some brain leak from SpaceX. For some, no amount of money is enough to continue to work for a company associated to that toxic twat.

Ngl, had me in the first half.
