Elon’s rocket glitched and blew the fuck up. Must be DEI

It's a test flight, not a mission. Test fails all the time, a part of scientific/engineering process
Shut fucking up, you bastard.
Well look at that that. Chicom actually stepped up. Well done.

Space test flight is allowed to fail. Routine work of air traffic controller is NOT. You compared
Apple with orange and gave a cheap shot.
But being able to compare apple with orange is your highest intelligent effort ever on posting, worth my response.
Test flights are funded by the government and air traffic controllers are being fired…
Justify that, chicom.
Also, it’d behoove you to take some English Grammar classes. It would help us interpret what you’re trying to say. Thank you in advance.
Apple & orange. Starship is primarily privately funded(institutional investors, private equity).They
win or lose contracts from government through a bidding war, e.g. they beat Blue Origin to win a starship contract. Air traffic controllers are government (FAA) employees.
You keep making invalid comparison. I suggest you to learn how to id 2 things fundamentally different so that you won't make invalid comparison. Thank you in advance too.
You are either inherently stupid or you’re just grossly uninformed…
SpaceX has received about 20 billion in government funding vs 200 million from private equity and 100 million from Musk himself. Quit embarrassing yourself.
I'm talking on starship, not SpaceX. Dumb. The failure this time is starship, not launch itself.
You keep mixing things up. (Even spaceX, your number is not correct). Again, please learn how to id 2 different things such as space test work vs air controller routine job, private company vs FAA, Starship vs spaceX. I'm out. You're too dumb.

Starship is part of SpaceX you fool….
And your surrender is accepted, Chicom scum

Space travel is hard
No matter your view on Elon Musk, do yourself a favor and read Walter Isaacson's biography, released in 2023.
Like his biography of Steve Jobs, it is no puff piece. Musk is a complex character, for sure.
The sections on SpaceX are fascinating. There were many times along the way when SpaceX's future was highly in doubt. Today it is the world's preeminent launch system. In the US, it accounts for 95% of orbital launches, at a fraction of NASA's cost.
If the only thing Elon Musk ever did was to create SpaceX, he would go down as one of the greatest innovators and entrepreneurs of the 21st century.
The government's loans / grants to SpaceX have been repaid many times over.
I like Elon the business man…
Elon the chainsaw toting dork is who I despise.
Agree with most of your synopsis. The only part that I question is where you state that the loans/grants have been paid back in full.
It is fairly simple
It costs NASA orders of magnitude more to put payload into space than SpaceX. NASA has contracted with SpaceX for multiple programs in the past and has awarded SpaceX several contracts for future launches. It is a wise use of taxpayer dollars - and truthfully, the only realistic game in town for the US space program.
No offense…
but I’m a data/facts based kind of guy, so forgive me for questioning your claim.
Having said that, I like Elon the business man. He’s obviously a genius. I also support his ventures, especially Tesla and SpaceX. I own a Tesla. Love the car. Great technology and it’s 100% made in the USA.
The reason I started this thread was to bait Trumpers into responding…mission accomplished, to point out Trump’s weird fascination with DEI…mission accomplished.
What a weak apology.

Thanks for summarizing like that.
Then tell him to stay in his space launch lane and stay out of firing people in charge of Nuke
stockpile oversight, air traffic controllers, and meat inspections.
Tyrone says Starship is a waste of taxpayer money.
But he can't come up with payments of any kind. Don't distract him, though. He is busy googling like a chump...errr....champ.
Where do you get this stuff, Iggy? SpaceX has gotten tens of Billions from NASA to develop its
rockets...and without the huge government expenditures, for both infrastructure, technical expertise and early generation rockets...there would be no SpaceX. Right now, Elon's company is failing mightily...two successive Starship explosions...and he above all others, is responsible for fixing the problem...time to start earning the hefty profits he gets from taxpayers.
Are you just being a Gadfly, or are you really this vacuous?
I get it from you, Tyrone.
It was a false claim you made below. You're not man enough to own up to it. No surprise.

Aww, Frances the pathetic psychiatric anomaly is getting huffy.
You'll die shouting at the walls, weirdo.
"Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding"
So what? He builds rockets at 1/10 the cost and has advanced the EV market.
The problem isn't that the government spends money. The problem also isn't that government money leads to individual wealth. The problem is that we spend money that doesn't advance objectives that benefit the country, its citizens or the taxpayer, while people get wealthy on our dime.

Shouldn’t we want to make sure our tax money is being spent on things that work?
If that was another contractor, he’d want them fired? What happens if the HLS starship rocket blows up with a crew on board?
There is no government support of the Starship program. It is privately funded.
So maybe you should stay in your lane.
Not entirely. Read below.

Definitely not a waste of money…
Seems SpaceX has come through many times when it comes to the international space station.
I’ll be interested to see if Elon recuses himself when the billions of $$$ in government contracts With SpaceX comes under scrutiny.
I'm sure if you were in charge it would have had a better outcome.
