    Hating on the muskman is great. But being so stupid not realising why SpaceX launches vehicles they know gonna explode just makes you the biggest dork on the instance.

    SpaceX launches and lands shit every week. Its such a routine it doesn’t hit the news. Signalling SpaceX is a failure because of their experimental flights succeed in gathering knowledge while they explode is such a stupid take. I see it way too much here.

      This. Those weekly rockets are visible from my house. It’s almost a non-event to all but the most avid space fans - people play “was that rumble a rocket or a freight train”. The county EOC is trying to get permission not to activate for Falcon 9 launches because they’re so reliable.

      But yeah let’s pretend SpaceX are all idiots because they blow things up in testing.
