    on the next one he says....


    Note on Musk’s latest vaporware: He claims he plans to be on the “next manned” Starship launch. But Starship has never launched with human crew. For good reason: Starship has never had a human-survivable launch in eight tries. The eighth launch of Saturn V landed on the moon and safely returned its crew to earth, while Starship hasn’t even reached low-earth orbit, something real actual rocket scientists have been doing routinely since the 1950s.
    Please let this be true

    it's weird to be ok with:

    1. vandalism in any form
    2. vandalism because you think they are the enemy
    3. vandalism when you think they are the enemy but they are in fact a democrat who bought the car before they knew the owner was a nazi
    My thoughts too. Seems really odd that people are not only okay, but are getting a little enjoyment out of this.
    Burning down property because you don't like something unrelated to the owner will never make sense to me. Even burning down Elon's own personally Tesla wouldn't make a difference. 
    And even if it's a newly purchased car, so what? Maybe they found that to be what they thought was the best option for their budget, I'm not going to expect someone to make one of the biggest purchases of your life (the only thing more expensive than your car is your house) based on the political views of the guy who started the company. Maybe I'll switch from Mr. Pibb to Dr Pepper if I have strong issues with them, but that's about the extent.

    The other thing about the vandalism and this thread is playing out similarly, is that it a) detracts from the real issues and b) brings sympathy to the bad guys.

    Ugly ass trucks that catch fire and are associated with the man that's actively destroying America...and vandals are pretty much saying "here; 'media,' have this distraction on a silver platter."

    Vivian Jenna Wilson, the estranged daughter of Elon Musk, revealed that her father pays extra for sex-selective IVF in order to produce male offspring, which is why he's so angry that she's trans.

    Morals seem to go out the window when it’s done to someone somebody doesn’t like. Vandalism, sex shaming, revenge porn…..

    Please let this be true 
    People can say what they want about Musk, but Saturn V cost about $26 billion in the '70s, and the estimated cost of Starship when all is said and done, is expected to be about $10 billion. Saturn V was also a one-time use where Starship is intended to be fully reusable. 

    Also, eight "tries" is a very misleading way to frame this. These are test units, not production units. They're in testing, not production.

    yeah, things are more expensive when you are effectively inventing the technology while being methodical about your approach. not to mention , things become cheaper as the tech evolves, no?

    would be very interested to know just how much of the basic blueprint was used for SpaceX that came from the various NASA  rocket programs.

    Between 1971 and 1977, there were 38 rear-end collisions of Ford Pintos that resulted in fire, leading to 27 deaths and 24 non-fatal burn injuries.

    The American people made Pintos a national joke.

    Between 2012 and 2022,  untouched Teslas have had 232 confirmed cases of fires and 83 fatalities worldwide.

    People in America believe Elon Musk is going to save our nation.

    Education is important.
