SpaceX ≠ Elon Musk

I'm making a note here: Huge Success

I'm starting to wonder how much of these explosions are acts of corporate sabotage.

"Well-run" implies that of the people running it, i.e. CEO Elon Musk. A quick search on Glassdoor reveals "CEO approval."

I don't expect you to speak negatively about the person who signs your paychecks, especially because he's so obsessed with censoring social media, but when you praise vague "good leadership" and leave it at that, it does make a rational person skeptical.

Please read a bit about Gwynne Shotwell. She's amazing and runs the company very competently.

... And we need 25k space tickets why? For a cool selfie?

I'm way more interested on your opinions of CEO (and Chair and CTO) Elon Musk, especially because you'd apparently rather talk about anybody but him.

You're looking for a "gotcha" but my whole point is that people are judging SpaceX entirely on Elon being involved, rather than it's actual merits.

My opinion shouldn't matter here.

Why go anywhere in the world? It's all about the experience man, 25k to have experienced being in space is an incredibly unique and cool experience is it not?

I understand from your comment that, within your limited capacity, it is actually hard , next to impossible even, to imagine the benefits of having cheap orbital and suborbital transportation and infrastructure.

I imagine it must be difficult living that way so I just want to say you are very brave by raising awareness to such disabilities, keep at it, champ, you are doing a great job

Because the world has actual things in it like people, wildlife, culture and history. Space has none of those things. Unless you're there working as a scientist to study things that can't be studied on earth, it's pointless.

As of now it's a glorified roller coaster. At its best private space travel could be Disneyland in space. At worst it's just rich people paying to be carried up mount everest for clout but with exponentially more resources wasted.

I understand from your comment that you've read too many sci-fi books to understand what a massive resource sink that would be with negligible benefit. It's pretty basic physics.

We've already got cheap transportation, look how that's turning out for the planet. But I'm sure burning God knows how much energy to launch more junk into space will save the world.

We're already approaching a critical mass of private equity space trash in orbit, what's a few more lowest-bidder megastructures? At least the ultra rich will get their life rafts while we burn.

How difficult is it to communicate to others without letting your ego get in the way? I swear, you people act like literal children sometimes haha
