Maybe if you weren’t so blinded by your need to be edgy, you would see the accomplishments SpaceX has made. Starship is not even close to being completed. It blowing up and failing are expected at this stage.
Comment on Second SpaceX Starship launch ends with explosion. What happens next?
Neato@kbin.social 11 months agoGiven that time and money I bet NASA could have that and made ones that don't blow up every test.

NASA doesn’t build many rockets. They are almost all done under contract.

Given time and money, I’m sure Bob Jones could make a reusable rocket in his back garage. It would just take a lot of both. SpaceX is good at making a lot of progress with little time and money.

How much are you betting? Because I could use some free money, lol.

LOL… NASA has existed for many more decades than Spacex has. The Spacex Falcon rocket is possibly the most reliable rocket available today, launches payloads more often than any other rocket and it’s much cheaper than its competitors. You’re comparing a brand new rocket design to other, thoroughly tested rockets that have had many iterations. This was literally the second flight of this rocket, they were expecting it to fail.
