  • Are you for real? Can you guess how many Saturn V rockets ended up exploding throughout the first mission to put man on the moon? Trick question, the answer was ZERO.

    The Saturn V program had completed more successful milestones in 1 year than SpaceX has managed in 5 year.

    SpaceX has been late on every single deliverable to NASA. They were supposed to show they can reliably perform the propellant transfer for the NASA contract, and instead Musk focused on testing the deployment of starlink satellites, which of course failed. And now they lost one more on the pad getting fueled up.

    It’s complete incompetence, which is the one thing Musk can guarantee








  • The problem is with a shitty latch: the hood appears closed, but it’s not.

    The OTA Update doesn’t fix the shitty mechanical latch - it still doesn’t latch consistently. What it fixes is another poor design choice: evidently, the car has sensors that can tell if the hood was closed correctly or not, but this was never turned on/programmed? The OTA Updates this so now the car can warn you when the shitty latch fails.

    Or who knows, maybe they initially turned off that sensor because it was going off all the time because of the latch…
