    Break neck is the right word here.

    SpaceX so far hasn’t been able to get beyond low earth orbit. The amount of unneeded exploded rockets us insane and they cheer, every time. When a new crew of astronauts blow up and die, the last they’ll hear is people applauding and cheering. It’s disgusting.

    So musk claimed to get us on Mars in 2016 and today, 9 years later we have barely 1% of that goal met. Who do you believe any of the Elon lies?

      I don’t believe Elon. I believe in the process. Look back through NASA’a history of testing rockets and you’ll find plenty of stuff that blew up on the pad.

      SpaceX has launched several missions into gto, Lagrange points, and even Europa.

        I’m sorry, are you comparing the work of NASA back in the 60’s to work done now?

        NASA never cheered when rockets blew up. NASA never said “the goal is get off the launch pad, anything else is an extra”. NASA never launched a rocket without a flame diverter, causing them to utterly obliterate a launch pad. NASA didn’t just blow up rockets all the frigging time just to test them. NASA did everything with rulers or at best computers that had the power of a basic calculator. NASA didn’t have the advancements in computers, new materials,new technologies.

        NASA also didnt have to deal with a man baby con man

        I’m sorry, but this is a very bad comparison
