  As long as you exercise all the stock they give you one way or another, you can leave whenever you like. The real scammy part that no one seems to mention is to give really long vesting periods

  Yeah, a space station is actually pretty impressive given that no other country besides the US and Russia have one, and that will be gone by 2030 with no plans for a replacement. So in a few years China will have the only space station in space. They launch multiple rockets per week while the US just has SpaceX launching at a similar cadence. Go stick your hand in the sand if you want, but the Chinese have a great space program and just saying “we did it x many years ago” is completely irrelevant to today. All of the tech isn’t here anymore. There is no space shuttle. The SLS is a boondoggle that will never fly after a few expensive Artemis missions. Today is what matters and I believe Chinas space program is in a much better place than ours. Today.

  Yeah you missed the part where they have a fucking space station and a growing private sector of reusable launch vehicles that are copying SpaceX.

  It’s as if they are still in testing. This is many years away from being safe, but it will happen

  I’d take my chances with that rather than all the phycos out in the road now

  SpaceX does almost 100 rocket launches a year now without issue and does successful landings for all of them. When they test new insane rockets that blow up it makes the news, no one talks about how every paying commercial rocket they launched have been successful for years now
