put this man in charge of remaking the federal government, I say - ThreadSky

This is why there is a pivot to Mars instead of our moon mission. To do that, he needs to launch over a dozen of these things, dock them in space, and transfer fuel. The Mars mission would kick deadlines down the road.

They have appeared to perfect the least important part (returning spent boosters to the launch pad) but can’t manage the most important part (not ‘splodin’ into thousands of shards of burning debris).

Let’s just hope and pray our CIA operatives got out of Russia in time and some caring person rushed them into hiding.

So much shit is going wrong with this guy’s companies, he should be running around like the little Dutch boy, trying to plug all the holes. Instead, he’s found new places to screw up.

Musk throws billions after billions into these endeavors . He has enough money or enough money from investors to continue to throw spaghetti at the wall until something sticks or blows up . Government is about the quality of human lives . Unlike rockets, we each only have one precious life.

I’m thinking those two astronauts stuck on the ISS may not be in such a rush to get back…

Do you think SpaceX’s CEO working remotely had anything to do with its failure? #degenerationx

reply

chrispg12.bsky.social•2 days ago

well in this case the company might be more productive with him out of the office…

i mean i can envision a scenario were an absentee-CEO stepped in mid launch to “take command” of an otherwise successful launch and caused its malfunction. but that’s just my creative side having fun on a Friday.
