Cry harder. SpaceX is single handedly saving the US space industry
Yeah, we've got ongoing mars missions and revived transport of facilities even to the moon. Right? We have, right?
Hey, how did the dearMoon mission turn out? We kind of stopped hearing about that, huh.
I tell you what, you're absolutely right that he helped industry. Not any of the people who work in the industry, mind you.
This is dumb. SpaceX is launching over a hundred times per year. PER YEAR. Dear Moon was always a long term goal for anyone in the science community they understood it will never happen before 2030. The large launch quantity has helped reduce launch costs and has enabled small sat launches aka cubesats. Universities can now launch things to space because the launch costs are so low. So your statement that it hasn't helped anyone is patently false. You just have a raging boner against SpaceX, but you are incredibly uninformed. You can either continue in your delusion or see that SpaceX is actually good for the industry, universities, knowledge, and technology over all. That is all. Have a good life, or continue being a miserable hater. Whatever
A long term goal set for launch in 2018 and 2020 and 2022 and 2023 and...
Telling how you only focus on the few experimental failures vs the hundreds of successes. Just admit you're a hater based not on logic but just hate. You have no other argument. Loser
