All that money that went to Boeing and Space X should have went to NASA. Fuck private space cunts getting our money. Those engineers should be OURS, not fuckwit Leon.
Tbf tho, NASA wanted private companies to deal with Moon and earth space so they could focus on their SLS rocket. Obvs fuck that guy, but i think NASA came up with this plan.
I won’t be taking sides in this particular battle of grossly overinflated egos.
I’ll pick the side that’s not trying to overthrow the foundations of democracy
You have a point there. Still can’t stand the guy.
Has NASA achieved reusable rockets? Has they achieved landing rockets?
That was not the claim, the claim was on the actual space frontier. And in that regard Elon Musk and SpaceX has not achieved anything.
At 4:10 he even praise that SpaceX works on reusability, and call landing the rocket a tremendous achievement.You are arguing a strawman, the exact problem this video was made to address.
they have managed to set a trend for filling the night sky with shitty little low orbit satellites chewing up the ozone layer
and of course oversaturating LEO, because while they will come down eventually, those dead satellites will stay up there for a decade or more in some cases

- Elon Musk didn’t achieved shit.
- NASA hasn’t been achieving much lately either.
- Comparing current SpaceX with peak NASA is like comparing an infant with an adult.
In this case, should we measure maturity in the amount of money burned?
where are we at?
Yes. The shuttle was both rocket and spacecraft, obviously controllable for landing. The Shuttle SRBs were reusable. They were not controllable for landing, but nonetheless they did land in a state that allowed reuse.
Musk achieved powered flight for landing his rockets, but even NASA had a long history of research with VTOL powered rockets that were not used for spaceflight.
He can certainly claim to have perfected it, but he certainly didn’t invent it.

He did jack all, SpaceX engineering teams did everything.
Well, yes. That is true.
Have you actually watched the video?
I’d put building cathedrals and pyramids more on slaves than worship of deity… other than that, spot on.
And he singles out recovering rockets as a feat of engineering, not space exploration, which would’ve been my second quip.
Pyramids being built by slaves was debunked long ago. Cathedrals also weren’t lol.

Neither where build by slaves.
Egypt didn’t use slaves to build the pyramids. They used paid skilled workers. We have their living areas and pay receipts. You are working with outdated information. Cathedrals cover a 1700 year period and multiple labor strategies. I’m sure some were built with slaves but the majority weren’t and slavery was all but absent for the majority of the period unless you count serfdom, but serfs didn’t have the skills to build them so they don’t count.
