That stuff takes a very long lead time to get right.

Yet somehow, people still think Mr. "We'll be on Mars by 2025," who is still launching rockets that explode mid-air, should be allowed to throw out this tried and true method. Surely, the idea of "move fast and break things" is more financially responsible than polluting debris and waste over the country. Fucking monorail salesman...

SpaceX was an accomplishment that got a lot done. Elon might be shit, but he hasn't destroyed everything he's touched.

I think he's always been a sociopathic narcissist. However. It was around the time of the "pedo" comment or early Covid that he completely purged anyone who would tell him no, surrounded himself with yes-men, and fried his brain with drugs.

Pedo comment was the moment I realized what he actually was. I thought he seemed pretty cool before that. My class consciousness wasn't fully evolved at that point though or I would have realized he had to be a piece of shit to be a billionaire.

Did you never hear about falcon 9 or something? SpaceX's design process is tried and true. They used it to design the most successful rocket platform ever made. Not only is first stage reuse a massive breakthrough in it's own right but they pulled it off with arguably the most reliable rocket in history,
