Whoa. a subpar Elon project? SAY IT ISN’T SO!
I hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, but he has kickstarted a space race, and an EV market. Credit where it’s due.
And yeah I know, rich daddy, no inventions, all evolutionary, etc. But here we are.
It’s certainly not Honda-level reliability.
My feed rn:
I would ride a Honda rocket a hundred times before ever setting foot on anything developed by SpaceX
I think Honda has begun building spaceships/rockets too. Think they chose to build the type that don’t explode. link
We shouldn’t be building rockets PERIOD. They cost too much and are eventually only going to serve trillionaires.
FIX SHIT ON THE GROUND FIRST
That said,
They did a test from 300 meters, sure it’s cool but I think they have a LONG way to go before they are competetive.
We can do both? What’s a rocket scientist going to do about systemic oppression and the rise of fascism that excludes them from working on rockets still?
If you like SatNav, accurate weather tracking, and advanced intercontinental communication then ya like rockets ya dipshit.
While Id be the first to ban private rocket launches outright, we shouldn’t abandon the advances of the space age because of them.
You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.
Separating the message from the messenger is a key skill. A right answer doesn’t become wrong because it comes from a jerk.
You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.
(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)
Yep me being an uncouth asshole has little to no bearing on my point. It’s like those uppity cunts who act like theyre better just cause they don’t swear, usually they are morons I mean Mormons and thusly my inbuilt snob filter works wonders.
Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.
It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.
Hey there I didn’t complain or downvote but also declined to upvote cuz of the two little tiny words of ad hom……
… (idea!) …
DINGUS! Dingus would’ve saved it!
ya dingus
Perfect, feels very Lemmy-appropriate—gets the insult with a perfect lulz factor so even the parent commenter could’ve kinda laughed (I hope ppl can take jokes!)
…sorry I know I’m not your mom, hope this doesn’t come across maximally prescriptive (just my 2c!)
Then wallow in thine ignorance pissant.
Japanese cars are superior to American cars, why wouldn’t their rockets be?
Definitely agreed on cars, but Japan’s last few moon missions had several catastrophic failures unfortunately.
The front fell off.
it was towed out of the environment.
MAYBE if we Cut the FAA and OTHER Regulatory agencies it’ll not Explode next Time?
Musk is going to be PISSED when he finds out there is no bureau of physics he can subsume or destroy from within. I believe one Rush Stockton came to a similar conclusion, if he indeed had time for that conclusion to even form before perishing.
SpaceGateX
Can’t wait for the documentary
I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:
“Honda Wins!”
For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn’t permit them to have long-range missiles.
Hardly. Honda have just replicated what Falcon 9 has been doing every week for years.
Here comes the killjoy!
Was he on it? If he was this is a complete success.
If he wasn’t.
Better luck next time I guess?
Elon is stupid, but I’m thinking he’s not so stupid as to board one of his own rockets.
He’s a chicken shit ? Why are all these tough guy conservatives such pussies
I mean, I wouldn’t either. I wouldn’t want to risk death. He knows it’s not risk-free.
Neither is doing elephant sized doses of Ketamine
idk, got to check that “is Musk already dead” tracker community
If this is real, please post the link!

looks like last post was 4 days ago, but was fairly active before that
Thank you!
Damn, looks like I didn’t get my wish: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19193050
Unplanned rapid disassembly?
Thoughts and prayers… lol
Musk’s starships are blowing up like his reputation 😂
Well at least it was a decent looking explosion?
Iterations are getting more frequent, which is a good sign, right? Right?
He excels at burning hunks of metal at extremely high temperatures. I thought the Cybertruck was the pinnacle but alas.
