I wonder if the reason for it failing this time was sabotage by SpaceX engineers.
Sabotage, or the fact that the best rocket scientists probably don't want to work for a Nazi on ketamine?
Hey last time that happened we ended up with the atomic bomb.
The bomb wasn't successfully developed by the ones working for the Nazi on ketamine...
I would like to know whatever you think you are talking about, because of definitely not the Manhattan project
The joke is all the good scientists that didn’t wanna work for the nazi left and came to America
Where’s the ketamine for the rest of us already?
I assume when Musk decided he wanted it to move faster his disruption undermined the process, meaning he sabotaged it.
From the anecdotes I've heard by ppl who worked for him, that would not be surprising.
Can you share any of those anecdotes?
Here's a documented instance. https://www.industryweek.com/leadership/companies-executives/article/22017721/spacex-technician-says-concerns-about-tests-got-him-fired
I wish I could find a story that was in somebody's biography (i think?). It was about Elon stepping in to "fix" a bottleneck in the production line for Tesla cars by reprogramming the robotic arm to torque bolts faster. But, in doing so, he ended up causing a bunch of vehicles to get sent back to the production line because the bolts were all over-torqued.
I feel so bad for SpaceX engineers. If you grew up dreaming of space, you learn the math and science, and end up with that piece of shit as the figurehead for all your work.
At least Elon doesn't actually run things at SpaceX, despite what he might say in public. Gwynne Shit well actually runs the company, and is likely the reason it's actually pretty on track and hasn't gone the way of Tesla.
Starship is not like any other rocket currently being made, and it's being built in an iterative process, unlike the legacy rocket manufacturers, and even most new companies. This design process is intended to make changes and break things at every step, in the real world. Then make changes to try and fix those problems, and test it again. And not every step will fix previous issues. They're building multiple Boosters and Starships simultaneously, and none of the ones being launched are the newest version at this point of development. They're all older models by the time they fly.
All true, but he's still their official overall leader, company owner, and "lead engineer" and that really, really sucks.
lol. SpaceX are destroying Artemis as we type - and America's prestige as a space-faring nation - and are not going to Mars on any timeline, as Musk well knows. Musk doesn't care at all, it is helping him get to trillionaire status.
If It is, they're assholes for not waiting until there's a couple billionaires onboard
