    • the technology and advancement in reusable spacecraft that SpaceX pioneered is genuinely groundbreaking
    • my enthusiasm for SpaceX was rapidly and completely eroded around when Phony Stark bought Twitter and began overtly using it to manipulate national political discourse
    • my outright hostility to SpaceX began when it became clear they were a key part of killing broadband and fiber expansion, in (imo) an obvious play to control dissemination of data under the auspices of a Phony Stark company

    Were it not attached to that ketamine fueled South African fascistic billionaire fuckwit, SpaceX could have had a much more incredible and long-lasting trajectory. But alas; we are in the bad place.

    One can only hope…

    Beside my burning desire to see Musk lose money and lose face because I can’t stand fucking billionaires who don’t pay their fair share of taxes, and Nazis even less, SpaceX allows Musk to keep the US government way too dependent on him for a healthy democracy to exist - or indeed any democracy.

        Yes and his last dick ship made an spectacular show. Hopefully others will follow. But you know that is not being brave. The Titan crew was brave. I hope more billionaires try to match the Titan way. Cmon guys! Get in the ship! Go to Mars!
