What’s the ableist word?
Ig “insane” became a slur now. I hate the way we’re sterilizing the language.
Step 1 - NASA privatization
Step 2 - NASA privatization
Step 3 - NASA privatization
Only in America is something like this possible (derogative)
After we inflate the currency, remove all safeguards from fraud protection, and then force vast swathes of the population to unwittingly give him money: any one, (and exactly one), person can succeedreach an arbitrary benchmark that, frankly, is only indicative of a failed society!
Hey! I didn’t say that last part!
Does it make me a bad person for hoping that the first manned flight to Mars just explodes on the pad?
It does unless musk is in the rocket
If the initial blast off doesn’t get them, then the trip through space, or trying to colonize a dead planet will.
Truly a rags to riches story, he started with nothing but billions in assets and massive corruption and managed to turn that into a trillion, truly an inspiration.
“line on chart go up! LINE ON CHART GO UP!”Shit, if they’re giving accolades for never to be completed ambitious goals I’m ready to claim my prize for the worlds’ greatest game dev, thank you
Most indie game devs:
exactly what have they accomplished oh wise white man?
They polluted LEO with a constellation of satellites that burn up in the atmosphere so much that atmospheric aluminum oxide levels have risen by 30%.
Oh how nice
There are a handful of interesting things that SpaceX has accomplished. Reusability with falcon 9 and falcon heavy, 3d printing their engines, The way they leveraged NASA contracts to pay for their r&d while still being significantly cheaper than the legacy defense contractors they were competing with.
But like Edison with the light bulb, Elon musk sat in a boardroom and takes credit for the hard work of hundreds of dedicated engineers. Elon did not figure out how to effectively reuse boosters. Elon did not design the raptor engine. Elon did not design the dragon crew capsule. If anything, based on the articles that I’ve seen, SpaceX management spends more time ensuring that Elon doesn’t f****** their plans, than they do “benefiting from his leadership”.
And I am ignoring all of the well-documented negatives. The fact that SpaceX is now part of the military industrial complex, pollution from re-entering starlink satellites, the problems with putting thousands of satellites into low earth orbit to begin with. Etc.
