I wish there was someone out there who wasn't a bazinga brained Musk fan, who could be relied upon to discuss how it was that NASA pulled off all the wonderful things they pulled off (even though there were some absolutely horrific accidents like Apollo 1, and two space shuttle losses with all crew) but SpaceX has had almost, if not more time than NASA has had and really doesn't have much to show for it.

Like has our country rotted this much? Have we lost the technical knowhow?

nobody smokes anymore. brain work in the west has dropped off a cliff in all scientific and creative fields while famously nicotine-addicted China surges ahead

yeah they should have kept the band's name as "Jefferson Starship" but there was legal infighting

Turns out there is more to designing a Super Heavy than just making a bigger rocket. Now that the Trump admin is ending funding for the SLS, Musk is the only game in town; lucky him. Might have to ask the Chinese for launch help in the future.
