    They guy that owns to most impressive groundbreaking rocket company talks about rockets and space has no place in a community about space.

    Okay cool.

      There’s a huge difference being the money being a very inventive space company and presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not, and if he had more of a hand in SpaceX they’d be probably bir nearly as far as they are now.

        He’s got a degree in physics and whenever you see him answer off the cuff questions about spacex he obviously has knowledge.

        I think you’re largely talking out of arse because you don’t like Musk.

          A BA in physics does not a rocket scientist make.

          Wharton is great for a business degree - but otherwise its focus is in “‘Executive Education’ - which involved custom learning experiences that lead to academic enrichment, however with no standing.“ (emphasis mine)

          If you look at a list of its allumni, you’ll quickly see it’s a rich persons club. Mostly CEOs, not discoverers or scientists.

            Go find me videos of him have no knowledge of spacex then.

            Whenever he seems to talk about spacex he knows more about the nuts and bolts of the company than most CEOs

              Works both ways - go find me videos of him making operational (not managerial) decisions inside SpaceX. As founder he can point the way, but he’s not doing any science himself.

              When you show us him plotting trajectories or doing mass calcuations, then we’re finally talking about the same thing. Right now, he writes checks and points; a rich Schnauzer could do the same.

                Let’s be clear what we are discussing here

                presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not

                That’s what we are talking. He’s obviously not the one the being calculations that would be stupid. No one is claiming he does that.

                I can’t believe you actually saying you think he should be doing calculations a computer does. I guess you don’t understand business at all.

                Go watch some of his chats with the everday astronaut. He clearly knows a lot about the company.

                  Let’s be REALLY clear here:

                  Let’s be clear what we are discussing here

                  presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not

                  Define “clue”.

                  Is it an awareness of space? I think we all have that, Musk included. I’ve had college-level physics classes as well, but I’d never suggest I’m a scientist.

                  Is it a facility to manage the creation of a space program, do the technical analysis and direct its operations towards success? Of course he can’t do all that - he writes checks to those that can. He points, and like the poodle he is, expects others to do the dirty work so he can take the credit. SpaceX isolates him from those decisions.

                  Serious bub - waving the Elon flag in this day and age; it’s not a good look. Sycophants are a dime a dozen these days, and you don’t want to join that club.

                    Omg your lack of awareness is amazing. That’s not even my quote.

                    Look I get it you irrationally hate Musk to the point that you see him as a caricature that can do no good whatsoever. He’s a stupid Disney villain to you I get that.

                    I also understand that you are just fighting against your own ignorance here and trying to “win” for whatever reason, and your points are doing more convoluted and irrational I guess just to prove to yourself Musk really is as stupid and and evil as you make him out to be.

                    The man is CEO of the most impressive rocket company in the world. I have provided video links of him showing knowledge of his company, he obviously spends a lot of time with the company directly. Seeing as this is about space, by the most impressive rocket company, from the knowledgeable CEO. That’s relevant for people that care about space.

                    If you want to circlejerk your Musk hatred and live in fantasy land go ahead. But here in the real world what Musk says about space absolutely has an impact on at least the short term future of space travel.

                    You mistake my rationality of being able to see Musk has some influence on space (which he absolutely does) as love for him. Your hatred is muddying your vision.

                    Let me leave you with this rhetorical question. Do you think your fantasy land you live in where you just look to prove your flat earth reality is good for you?

      Letting space guy talk about space seems very reasonable at first glance, but the problem is that he’s a tremendous idiot.

      I own a car. Doesn’t mean I know fuck all about making one, or doing anything of value toward humanity with it.

      Elon owning toys you like doesn’t make him anything but a guy who owns shit for a living.
