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.

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.

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!
Ngl, had me in the first half.

If you told me that I'd be cheering for space rockets exploding 10 years ago I would have called you crazy. Incredible how much damage that fiend has done to our society.
It's incredible, isn't it? I used to be so stoked on space exploration and all the science that goes with it. Still am, really, but my enthusiasm has cooled markedly once billionaires started throwing dick-shaped space missiles around for no other reason than being able to.

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
Fairly sure they "saved" hundreds of thousands in wages only to lose millions to billions in material. An engineer working 80 hour weeks month after month isn't nearly going to be as productive as one doing 40hr weeks, no matter how many hours they put out. There's actually a point where it turns negative and every extra hour put in detracts from output, not to mention long-time wellbeing and development.

I would ride a Honda rocket a hundred times before ever setting foot on anything developed by SpaceX

Japanese cars are superior to American cars, why wouldn't their rockets be?
Definitely agreed on cars, but Japan's last few moon missions had several catastrophic failures unfortunately.

Elon should really pilot the next starship himself. Just put a small 1 person capsule on top (or maybe even 5 people so he can take some of his billionaire friends along) and connect a playstation controller to the engines.
Stockton did it, and he made several succesful trips. What you do yourself, you do better!! -

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.

Kids science projects make reusable rockets that go higher.

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.
