Comment on Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship explodes on test stand
cole@lemdro.id 3 weeks agoI hate to be this guy, but this is just… not true. That’s not how this works at all. How is the government giving SpaceX money outside of a contract? They aren’t.

This is not evidence to the contrary, especially when the company is intentionally trying to find the limits on a development article.
Falcon 9 (the only rocket they actually sell launches on) is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world.

I mean you’re right in a sense, but usually when I iterate on a design it gets better not worse.

I think it’s not fair to say that iteration doesn’t ever include any steps back. Development isn’t always straightforward and it doesn’t always go perfectly.

Here are two Toyota vehicles randomly bursting into flames. Toyota makes shitty cars (ranked 3rd most reliable by consumerreports.org, btw). consumerreports.org/…/who-makes-the-most-reliable…

Besides the federal government trying to strong arm governments into purchasing star link?

Then don’t be. I’m not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world’s richest political agent, unless…
Are you a SpaceX employee? You’ve said this in the past.

Please read a bit about Gwynne Shotwell. She’s amazing and runs the company very competently.
