  • No, SpaceX is objectively a failure

    It was paid 3 Billion to bring us to Mars by now and by now where are we? If I’m extremely gracious, I’d say we’re at 1% of that. At the rate they’re going they can barely launch rockets that don’t explode, and they still do stupid and dumb stuff and them brag about the minor things that went well while cheering the explosions.

    Compare SpaceX to the fucking Apolo program that had to figure out everything from scratch, to do every calculation with a ruler, no good manufacturing techniques and see what they got in a decade. What did SpaceX do in this last decade?

    He promised he’d make space travel 10-100 times cheaper and so far he sold it for more expensive after receiving grant after grant.

    The guy is a fucking scammer. SpaceX arguably has some good engineers, but that’s it. Wake me up when they manage to get a rocket in high earth orbit reliably

    Maybe it should be easier for people to donate something to open source software. Maybe on the Linux command line there should be a message from apt that certain projects could use your financial help, of you want to.

    I doubt many people would be pissed if projects just ask for a small donation
