Lol you really signed up here just to defend the vicious racist spoiled brat whose products all work like shit but you still think he's a genius for some reason
you know Elon doesn’t design the rockets right? He just bought the company, including the title of “founder”. He might like rockets a lot but he isn’t a rocket scientist. He just employs them
Shouldn’t this not really be about space exploration in general? I mean, SpaceX is just a service provider, prior the US used Russian or European rockets. It’s not like he grew the market. And today’s launch was a test, was expected to blow up. If that’s a good use of resources is a diff question.
No it was not expected to blow up. It was expected to actually fucking work. SpaceX only ever states starship was expected to blow up after it actually blew up.
On SpaceX in general, he probably saved the US quite some money over the years but while I admit I have no clue about rocket engineering, as an astronaut I’d never board. I’d be concerned about his lack of risk aversion.
Starship's current capability is... zero. Likewise, its success to date is... zero. Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy are very good launchers, but Starship ain't them.
Musk simps are having a normal one today. Someone told me they wanted to waterboard my dog on here because they thought I was being critical of SpaceX.
I confess: I actually guffawed at thinking about someone trying to get a dog onto a table and into a position where this would be possible. Would they tempt the dog up with treats?
Would you like a book rec about the history of the actual US space program? They've done some amazing stuff! And let's not act as if Elon is personally designing the rockets, ferchrissakes
Musk didn't either. He's not an engineer, a programmer, a scientist, or a visionary. He's a spoiled rich kid that bought other people's shit. His cars and rockets literally burst into flames.
I could make it for less because I would listen to the actual experts and not waste time, money, and resources doing obvious stunts that won’t work. Just reality based planning would provide a major lift here
Instead of destroying ecosystems and launch pads before blowing up, it went further before becoming an uncontrolled projectile that might fall from the sky onto people. Success!
i bet i could blow up at least twice as many rockets as elon does for the same amount of money, and i also bring to the table the added bonus of not being a nazi!
Almost nothing is going to be ready in time for the current Artemis 3 timeline. Could the SpaceX HLS end up being the thing we’re ultimately waiting on to land on the moon again? Sure. But right now it really isn’t. It’s probably the space suits that don’t exist yet.
Well he's not a rocket guy so why would he? Musk claims to be but he keeps failing to meet his promises, like rockets? Aren't meant to blow up like that.
Do you really not get what's going on or are you just pretending not to?
So what exactly do you get out of kissing musk’s shoes? Does defending a rich man make you rich-adjacent? Is musk your definition of smart and therefore you have to defend him? When he spews antisemitism and white supremacy- does that make you feel good about yourself? It’s a mystery to me
I don’t care if Leon Smuk can turn dollar bills into Benjamins by blinking at them, the guy is a rampant anti Semite and nothing, NOTHING, excuses that.

Musk ballwashers can't even hide it.
Either we've found Elmo's burner or it's just another broke-ass schnook desperately clinging to their dogecoins and/or Tesla stock.
Go back to Twitter, simp.
Musk is not SpaceX.
I mean... why is this complicated?
If you include all the ecological damage the previous launch caused, that's really a negative success to date rate.
If I too had zero morals, I could sell vaporware like Musk does.
Are we not supposed to judge him for that?
Silence, blue check
Go back to Xhitter.

It's really not hard.
