@StudChud @SituationCake Amen. And while we're at it, let's also put the boot in and twist the knife, on blinding headlights, please and thankyou.
What the hell happened to quality, science, etc?
Elon knows nothing about science, or anything of substance, he's a true nepo-baby cunt surrounded by yesmen.
Agree. I'm torn though, because for all his massive faults and huge I'm a dick-ness, he has pushed space technology forward at a time when it was stagnating.
@calhoon2005 @StudChud @melbourne He put up the cash to do it, but it's been Gwynne Shotwell running the show day-to-day, and the really smart engineers and rocket scientists reporting to her who have done all the work.
Now.
If you want to see what happens when Elon's in charge directly, just look at what's happened to Twitter since he bought it.
Yes. Agree.
@calhoon2005 @StudChud ahh the unhomed millions must feel nice and cosy at the thought of some space technology
@StudChud @calhoon2005 at a massive human cost (look up deaths lost limbs etc for SpaceX) all for huge personal not public gain.
I would rather have freaking slower progress
