    Everything except elon’s prestige and profit takes a back seat at spaceX.

    I hope to live to see the day he rides one of his own cock rockets and gets blown up in the process.

    Elon Musk has singlehandedly managed to kill my lifelong interest in space tech and exploration. Reading about advancements in rocket science used to excite me so much. Not anymore, as their only application will be to further consolidate the power and wealth of the 1%.

      Rocketry companies have always been that way, you’re just waking up to it. Capitalistic greed doesn’t change my mind that footage of re-entry plasma is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen

      He’ll never go up in one of his rockets. He’s way too scared. Notice how many people have already flown on a SpaceX rocket, but he hasn’t even suggested he’d do it himself.

      At least Bezos put his trust in his rocket technology enough to test it on himself.

        He has no where to go, the ISS isnt exactly a luxury resort. Thats why I support his endevors to go to mars, because one day he may decide to take the trip (and not come back).

          He can just go up and go back down again like Bezos. He won’t even do that because he either doesn’t trust his own rockets, he’s a coward or both.

      I’ve yet to see a compelling reason why Space X shouldn’t be nationalized. Why are my taxes going to fund that asshole’s company?
