   Perhaps DOGE should cancel Space X contracts as their approach is.really imefficient. Thunderf00t probably shouted a.very loud YESS!!!🤣🤣

   7:24 “that will never get old”
   But it is old. Late 20th Century rocketry.
   We are looking at a suborbital failure a third of the way through what a $3 Billion contract that has been extended by $1.5 Billion was expected to complete years ago.

    This is the fckn difference! In America they catch 80m high rocket boosters, here in Europe we have caps that you can’t remove from the Cola bottles anymore!

    No, it wasn’t a success if it ended up with the ship being lost.

      SpaceX doesn’t care about a few ships being lost; these are all prototypes, and the data they collect is far more important. Look at the Falcon launches and how many were lost—they ironed out the bugs and now successfully launch hundreds a year without issue. They test to destruction because that way, they can advance quicker than any other rocket company.

    How long do we as taxpayers need to keep subsidizing SpaceX garbage? Maybe Elon needs to go manage his own companies again.

    Another fact free conversation – Yeah Musk is a dill, and I get that Americans are angry. However, what SpaceX is doing is transformative. Fifteen years ago, SpaceX took the same fly-fail-learn-repeat approach. Falcon now flys 140 times a year, putting 30 tonnes into orbit, reusing boosters, and lowered the cost per Kg to orbit to than less than 10% of what it was before. Each Apollo style SLS launch costs $4 Billion, a Starship launch is less than $100Million. Starship will put 300 tonnes into orbit with a fully reusable rocket. So catching the booster repeatedly is an incredible achievement, inconceivable in the 1960’s. Catching both the first and second stages is game changing. As engineers, we celebrate test failures, you learn so much, and no one gets hurt.
    We have a lot of stuff to fix on earth, and we need to keep space as demilitarised as possible, but we are seeing history happening here.
    Please disconnect the Musk issue and look to the future.
    Though I am not American, I can understand your anger, but please think beyond the anger, do something constructive, get on your feet, learn, participate, vote, engage. Remember, we all have rights, but those rights come with responsibilities.

      Musk is not “a dill”. He is a threat to democracy world wide. And he would never have have been able to achieve any of this if he had to deal with the scrutiny NASA has to deal with. These programs would have been cancelled before they had a chance to succeed.

      I think Elon should be on the first starship to take a human to mars. And he should stay there.

    We’ve lost control of Starship. Unfortunately Falling out of control over Bahamas and peoples homes.

    At least Elon Musk didn’t fire any staff at Air Traffic Control.

    Funny jokes people NOT! If we as a planet don’t try to mine minerals on other planets instead of these massive mines on earth f—ing up the land well we might as well lay on over and call it a day. How long do you think what is left on earth will last??? Anybody??? Another generation maybe two then were Out. Once they per-fect the ship, space can be our oyster eventually.

    They say Elon himself wanted to pilot the rocket to show how big of a bang he could make with it, he really likes to smash things. I was a little disappointed when I heard that he wasn’t on board the rocket.
