    Like, I don’t know enough about this BS to argue, so I’m just going to believe what you’re saying, but what’s the point?

    NASA put people on the moon 54 years ago. Musk has said he’d do it several times now, but he’s not there yet.

    He’s also said that he’ll make space travel super cheap, yet his launches cost more than the Russian Soyuz ones used to.

    They’ve gotten nowhere near the moon, and Russia does launches cheaper with their WWII tech than Musk does with his cutting edge stuff. So to me it just looks like they’re burning money for funsies.

        Yeah musk has little to do with SpaceX success besides just being the money man.

        I fully support SpaceX and want them to succeed. I just want musk to be forcibly ejected and the company to be run and managed by more competent and ethical people because it’s obvious from his efforts at Twitter that he has no business running a company, much less one that has real and constant possibilities of bad management meaning the loss of human life.

        I feel the same way about Tesla, but Tesla to me is no longer about moving the human race forward. There are better competitors to Tesla, and now that EVs are mainstream, the trash build quality of those vehicles should mean the company should die or be absorbed.

        But also I just watched AI ethics die in 48 hours so that rich people could make more money, so fuck me I guess.

        Nothing we’re doing is going to prevent “one big rock” from changing life on earth. And there’s a solutely no possibility of moving humanity anywhere else. Science fiction isn’t a reason to support nonsense.

            This is a foolish response. We aren’t going to live anywhere but this planet, and only a moron thinks humanity is leaving this planet. Truly stupid shit, spoon fed to the incredulous by a billionaire dipshit and a century of science FICTION stories.

            Back to the Zubrin books for you.
