Oh no, the bigot's dick rocket done did explode. Oh no.
Now, now, now. Be kind.
Space X is suggesting that it self destructed. Which is a fine allegory for Elmo.

It's easy to love the engineering and excitement of space advances. Don't have to love the guy or the progressive privatization and abandonment of space exploration and development as a national adventure.
Too many of the big things that Americans have been able to be proud of in the past are now becoming the toys of the rich or the territory of corporations. And yet we taxpayers still pay for them.
I'm not at all saying there's no place for private enterprise in these ventures, but I feel like we've gone too far in various arenas and don't want to see the public lose control of this one.

Maybe next time it'll get high enough to blow up and litter hundreds of satellite orbital paths with SpaceX debris....
Who's "rooting for it"?what a stupid thing to root for.
This is the rocket that will be used to put American astronauts on the moon so it is important it works.WTF are you people cheering this for?
This is a for profit hobby for a rich guy.
This is no source of national pride.
Musk isn't even American
I hope NASA has tight contracts with Musk. Because he's saying that he wants to use the rocket to put his massive internet satellites into space.This is the rocket that will be used to put American astronauts on the moon so it is important it works.
We are in a new space race with China and the stakes are high as we will be competing over actual resources, not just achievements.
The space race with China has begun. Is America ready? | Miami Herald https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article281848548.html
I agree with that. There needs to be more competition in the industry which gives the government options. Right now he owns an essential monopoly with Starlink after breaking one in the American launch industry. Bezos will eventually be able to compete there since he has enough money to throw at it.I used to be a SpaceX fan, even though my opinion on Musk had changed….but after I read that he cut starlink on Ukraine….makes me think we should not be relying on an eccentric billionaire for critical projects. We are putting our national security at his whim.
At least with companies like Boeing and General Dynamics they are American companies with a long dependable history.
Would Musk sell his tech to China (or another nation) for the right price?I used to be a SpaceX fan, even though my opinion on Musk had changed….but after I read that he cut starlink on Ukraine….makes me think we should not be relying on an eccentric billionaire for critical projects.

Most, if not all, of this technology is covered under ITAR.Would Musk sell his tech to China (or another nation) for the right price?
Probably. Why not?
Do his contracts with NASA prevent that?
You might be right, but it's not really military tech. Maybe under EAR? Even that might be a bit of a stretch. But I don't know much about either, so I don't really know.Most, if not all, of this technology is covered under ITAR.

Wrong view.I'm with Van Allen. Send probes, manned space travel is stupid except for fiction.
Let's solve our problems here
Bunch of anti-science Luddite turds on this thread. SpaceX is not merely Elon Musk. You all need to get your head out of your asses.Wrong view.
Who the f***k are you referring to, lamebrain?
Jesus Joe, your shtick is growing tiresome.Twice
You got a two-fer, bro!!!
Apparently got you fooled if you think I’m NC, dumbass!You are not fooling anyone
Apparently got you fooled if you think I’m NC, dumbass
Fantastic! The less contact I have with idiots like you, the better!Ok. Either way you are now ignored.
Comical how he's responding to himself in this thread.Ok. Either way you are now ignored.
Let's keep giving space x huge subsidies. Gobble gobble.
I'm hoping for an even more spectacular explosion next time.Ignorant AF.
“Nelson, a longtime friend and former Senate colleague of President Joe Biden’s, was tapped to lead NASA last year and has been a booster of public-private space exploration, especially with SpaceX. Citing a Defense Department official, Nelson told a Senate panel in May that SpaceX might have saved taxpayers as much as $40 billion in launch costs.“

Ground Control to Major Tom… Ground Control to Major Tom…Comical how he's responding to himself in this thread.
Let's wait "3 more months"....
Yes! Elunatic should go to Baikonur and suck more Russian dick. Oh wait, he already does that.I’m hoping for more ignorant BS spewed from your cùnt mouth so everyone can see how stupid you are.
Without SpaceX America would be depending on Russia to send American astronauts to space.
Any thoughts on that fact you stupid fùck?
Esquire is back!Ground Control to Major Tom… Ground Control to Major Tom…
This Mars talk is beyond stupid.
Bill Nelson is a senile idiot and needs a freaking diaper.
Wrong again, earthbound one.This Mars talk is beyond stupid.
