Comment on Second SpaceX Starship launch ends with explosion. What happens next?

Creating isn’t inventing, and there’s wasn’t the first to be flown. Man, the SpaceX fans don’t really know the history of the industry they make these claims about.

You referring to the DC-X subscale tech demonstrator?

I think inventing is a less well defined term, since anyone with a napkin can claim to invent something to a very low fidelity. The details are the hard part, not the idea itself. So that’s why I specified created, since that is inventing to a very high level of fidelity.

  There’s several other examples. I also don’t think inventing is an ill-defined term. That’s an absurd thing to even say.

    You mind telling what those other examples are, and defining in inventing?

  I’ve had experience with Musk Fans in the past. They all read from the same script, including the “I don’t even like Musk” lie.
