I can’t stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… If you’re referring to Starship, they didn’t expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).
This may be an unpopular opinion but corporate space flight is stupid at this point in humanity’s history.
Any efficiencies that can be pointed to come from skirting regulations in ways NASA can’t or from stock assumptions that might lead to foreign sales and or monopoly, which should be a consideration no matter whose doing it… if it’s illegal for NASA to sell space IP to another company, than it should be for any company.
People say government doesn’t work, but we have never had a chance to see it work with Republicans throwing albatrosses across it’s neck and cutting at its heals and slashing their hamstrings at any chance they get.
Elon Musk has trouble elevating his own rocket. He sure as hell isn’t elevating anything in terms of political discourse…
I mean, he does have like 7^x log(ln) kids…

Watch as he continues to fail upwards. It’s like no-one remembers Trump.
