So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
They do…
The only advantage SpaceX has is that if NASA blew up a launchpad, there would be an investigation.
Everyone is used to Musk fucking shit up, and his defenders pretend it’s really a success.
Your problem is with the politicians who control NASA funding, not NASA.
Hey it’s got the best lawyers alright? It’s an amazing legal team, one of the most powerful in the space industry.
There was a very long investigation, pretty sure it hasn’t even concluded since they don’t have their license yet for their next test flight.
And why wouldn’t it count as a succes? You don’t see learning from design flaws as a succes? They clearly learned and iterated on the design
If you read all the comments by givesomefucks you will see that they ignore context and make wild assumptions repeatedly. They are on the hate musk train and not addressing the topic.
You: SpaceX?
givesomefuck: musk is terrible, musk blow up things, musk stole my girl/boyfriend
You: Okay, but what I was asking was…
givesomefucks: musk is the worst human ever, EVER!!!
Dude or lady is triggered. I get it musk is a douche of the highest order but givessomefucks has let it cause them to miss context and make wild assumptions. Sad really. I wish we could talk about things without whatever bullshit their on. My original question was only answered to the extent of musk is bad.
They don’t.
That’s the difference. NASA wants every launch to be a success.
Space x is willing to blow some shit up to test an idea.
I prefer the nasa method for rockets. Too much risk just blowing shit up in my opinion.
I disagree. I think NASA still innovates but they do it on things like propulsion and earth sciences.
They can’t because when they fail the public and then congress wants to cut their budget. NASA can no longer innovate and maintain funding.
I hate that I have to put this qualifier but this is NOT an endorsement of musk.
I don’t know why people are downvoting me, I’d love it if NASA could innovate the way private companies can, but they just can’t. The way SpaceX is currently developing Starship would not be possible if NASA was doing it. (And no I’m not endorsing Musk I wish the company was owned by someone else)
