We spent millions on the stainless dildo flying machine. The ruzzians used a pencil.
.....Its the year 2026, January.... What feelings like a decade of misadministration has come to fruition. China has "developed" the most advanced paper-like electronic sheet material with a brain interface. We use a pencil now. Graphite! Who knew!
The world’s a pretty crazy place right now. If we put aside personalities and politics for a moment and focus on the engineering achievements, SpaceX is doing groundbreaking work. A few explosions here and there are part of the R&D process — they’re just big and obvious enough that they’re easy for us to spectate. Given the success of their Falcon 9 platform, that’s a cost they can easily eat and a risk enticing enough to take. NASA engineers a generation ago were similarly breaking ground on their frontier, be it orbiting the moon or preventing fires in space by avoiding free floating graphite particles 😉
Meaningless if the end goal is murdering some people while helping others.
Can you explain further? How is SpaceX’s goal to murder people? That feels misplaced and I’d love understand what you mean!
Elon is selling access to the net to ruzzians invading Ukraine. How is that misplaced?
I'm embarrassed to have interviewed by that shit company back before their first rocket made it.
I always forget about that. Do you think that reflects more on Elon or SpaceX employees?
I wouldn't work there if the goal was empowering that asshole with murderous tools.
Yeah I hear you. There are truly very few options for work where you can be absolutely certain that no line can be drawn to enabling violence. Some are more obvious, blatant, and intentional than others.
