Comment on Elon Musk "We dug our own grave with 'FULL SELF DRIVING""
JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI think it was the comparisons to other launch vehicles that were very apples to oranges. But as I said, I’d rather not dig through the Reddit threads to find them. I think they were on SpaceX lounge a few years ago? Common sense skeptic commented, but I don’t think thunderfoot did.

Are you aware he is a chemist, and has worked in areas related. Not 1 in a thousand understand as well as he how a rocket actually works.
So my guess is that almost everybody else, myself included, who speak on those issues know less.

Yeah I know he’s a chemist. I’m an aerospace mech e. Some of the other people in the thread were engineers too. Anyway, it was just Wikipedia level incorrect information sort of stuff more than deduction of chemistry.

OK, then you know more than me, I’m just not aware of the apples to oranges comparison you mention.
