Am mechE. This is an unacceptable failure rate. It means they are several years away from manned flights on these rockets. It’s a complete failure of a project currently.
Eh. Using a weird goal to push engineering boundaries isn’t necessarily bad. Is going to mars sort of pointless? Yes, but it would help us continue to improve technology that otherwise not be funded.
Definitely shouldn’t be giving money to the nazi though. NASA should be given all the money fElon is getting IMO.
There are so many different, and better, reasons to get rockets out into our solar system aside from trying to forcibly terraform a dead rock.
Asteroids worth trillions in precious metals, diamonds, whatever the fuck — it’s out there waiting to be tapped.
Musk uses Mars as a ‘weird goal’ because it evokes feelings of a time when science fiction still represented ‘the future that could be’. He’s playing his base, nothing else. If he were actually trying to benefit humanity his focus would be the moon, then the belt.

We were supposed to have regular ships back and forth Mars at this point and a thriving interplanetary society blah blah blah.
For what reason? what were they supposed to be ferrying? We never got that detailed out, I think we just weren’t ketamined enough to understand.
Instead we have motherfucking nazis making a comeback and he’s leading them. I want to speak to a manager.
