FAA: nah

This is exactly the kind of government spending (yes, SpaceX is funded by US contracts) and government regulations (yes, FAA was just gutted) that corruption buys you.

At this point (8 launches in, all failures) the problem seems to be that it exists.

Why bother when the government just keeps giving you money to burn (literally)

Why the *$"&@* does SpaceX call a vehicle that *tries* to go to positions within our planetary orbit - not even another planet in the same solar system - Starship?

Wonder why Musk can launch without any caring whether it’ll blow up? Those are our tax dollars blowing up, he’s largely untouched financially.

The second one this year... Bitch we only 60 days in this mother fucker. This man thinks this world belongs to him.

lorak.bsky.social•11 days ago

so far it has belonged to him- why would he behave otherwise?

On the bright side planes can't keep crashing if they're constantly grounded because of SpaceX debris

He, it's just American taxpayers' money that Musk is burning...so what does he care? More where that came from...38 billion in the last few weeks. He keeps robbing us blind...with Trump presumably taking his cut.
Criminals, both of them.

I hope these airports and airlines and communities affected by Musk's SpaceX blowup charge him for damages. And sue him for endangering the public.

I’ll tell you this, from someone who knows a thing or two about rockets. You cannot implement lessons learned from a failed flight in less than two months. I suspect that’s why this failure looked exactly like the last one.

The same FAA he helped gut?

Rules and Regulations?

What poetic justice it would have been if some of the debris from the failed SpaceX launch landed right on top of a certain someone on the golf course at Mar-a-Lago

Trump admin would rather inconvenience literally every other American person and company than Musk.

The original designer for SpaceX is gone. Who's the genius again?
Thomas John Mueller is an American aerospace engineer and rocket engine designer. He was employee No. 1 of SpaceX and is the founder and now CEO of Impulse Space.

“Mishap”

You mean multi million dollar explosion?
