You're belittling and attacking the thousands of engineers and scientists who really built SpaceX, because their financier is a fascist sociopath. If you knew anything about this at all, you'd understand how exceptionally ignorant, naive, and disrespectful this is.
Musks culture has infiltrated SpaceX to warrant us to make some of those assumptions on the engineers that have currently stayed. Yes they've made accomplishments in actual propulsion engines but they've overpromised and underdelivered. Worse yet, on public linked posts from SpaceX team leads were spreading pro Russia anti NATO Muskaganda, completely unprofessional and it was praised by some dude I knew from my college who has been working there for a few years now. Their culture is trash and deserves to be ridiculed, and it's because of Musk influence.

Seriously? Did you just feign outrage for all those employees who blew up 5 billion in taxpayers dollars? The ones who jump up and down cheering like deranged cult members each time one of their rockets blows up, excited they received a Participation ribbon for coming in dead last?
You do realize SpaceX will never make it to the moon, much less Mars, right? I will never understand how people can watch Musk lie, OVER AND OVER, about his solar tiles, his Boring bullshit, his Hyperpoop, his full-self driving lies year after year after YEAR, but somehow think SpaceX is not run the same way, with the same lies.
SpaceX employees know they are designing shite, and they are just there for the paycheck. So yeah, much respect.
EDIT: Should we even discuss Leuders granting them the contract, then leaving NASA to work for SpaceX? SpaceX has missed EVERY SINGLE benchmark, every single deadline. Again, they were supposed to get us to the moon for 3B, and they are at 5B and can't get an EMPTY rocket into orbit. SpaceX is out of govt money, but that won't be a problem anymore, will it?
I'm not here to argue any of the rest of you post but the last three star ship launches have been to orbital velocity but on a trajectory that purposely didn't go into full orbit.
I understand what you are saying, but doesn't that back up what he is saying. 166% of the budget spent and they aren't even aiming for an orbit or further yet
I mean maybe but I don't really think it does either way, I was just pointing out it's kind of disinformation to say they can't put starship into a stable orbit.
It's also weird to say SpaceX is coming dead last when they're still they one company with a reusable first stage and literally the only company developing a reusable second stage.
Elon Musk is an absolute cunt but I don't really agree with the post I responded to.
How about you go research the projected vs actual cost of historic NASA projects, instead of commenting on something you apparently have not researched at all, and know nothing about?
Wait until you find out how much more most IT and military projects cost than projected...
Seriously. I have no love for Musk, but what the Space X team has accomplished is incredible. Wait until that guy finds out how much the SLS has cost so far, lmao.
Maybe but they've got me interested in how this actually compares to nasa from a financial perspective.
The difference isn't whether or not NASA could do this. The difference is that NASA's been funded by an anti-intellectual plutocracy who'd prefer to get rich bombing peasants in the middle east than do anything which would actually benefit humanity.
SpaceX engineers were people inspired by NASA, and would've likely ended up at NASA if the 4 year election cycle didn't sabotage most projects.
My money is on NASA 100%.
Well to be fair, we are paying for both of them..
They support him and therefore are each collectively guilty of his actions.
