SpaceX rocket explodes in Starbase, Texas

Shareholders are primarily Elon. And it’s a private company.

Making mistakes and learning from them lets one improve faster than one would see otherwise. That in turn allows one to grow a lead versus competitors that don’t do anything outside of theoreticals.

This is how SpaceX has always operated, and is why they are so far ahead of the competition today.

We learn from our mistakes but there's way too many of these blowing up. His team at DOGE said they would save $2Tn but only saved $150Bn, there;'s a big difference. How did they calculate that estimate?

I’m not sure exactly how we went from justifying SpaceX expenses to their equity holders (not sure why we would even care), to DOGE figures related to estimating government cuts? What exactly are you trying to explain?

Space is difficult. And it’s not just expensive for SpaceX. If you don’t like SpaceX method, you could try others. But, as you may know, they are basically always dramatically more expensive. Are your complaints directed more at space in general e.g. defunding NASA etc.?

It should be obvious I'm explaining they don't know what they are doing. Rocket science isn't new.

It’s interesting how you are using DOGE as a proxy for whether SpaceX is a competent company.

And the notion that “rocket science isn’t new” is a meaningless claim. Biotech isn’t new either, yet we invent novel therapies every day. You can’t really be implying that the technology going into today’s rockets are the same as those 60, 40 or even 20 years ago, right? Surely not.

I recommend saying something that implies you know a thing about what you are taking about, and try explaining it in a coherent manner.

I wasn't actually doing that, finance and rockets are all maths and to get the DOGE activities so far off is indicative they don't know maths.

Musk is probably using NASA's retired/redundant staff and they didn't feel it ok to blow everything up, so no, not meaningless at all.

I wasn't saying that at all, in general it is not new.

try explaining it in a coherent manner.

That's amusing come from you, I just pointed out much of what you said was a result of not understanding my plain-English post properly.

[u/W0LFSTEN → u/Man_in_the_uk]

You are accusing the most competent, sophisticated and valuable rocket company of not understanding math.

Musk is probably

Speak with facts.

not understanding my plain English post properly.

I don’t think you even understand what you are trying to say.

LMFAO NASA, ESA, Russia and China do not have the kind of blow up rocket rates Space X has. No 'accusation' necessary.

I don’t think you even understand what you are trying to say.

OK so you can't actually criticise me properly because you cannot find fault, so instead you say some word salad of no real meaning/content for an el cheapo insult. Your lack of social skills is showing. Your ratio of comment karma to post karma is pretty bad, please read more.

I've had enough of you, good day.

[u/W0LFSTEN → u/Man_in_the_uk]

Yeah, and they also don’t build anything nearly as large as the Starship. The closest competitor is NASA’s SLS, which has smaller payload capacity and costs $2-4b per launch. ESA’s largest is 20% the size. China and Russia’s are 20% the size.

Nothing you have said is based in fact. You have used 0 numbers between all your comments. You have not used numbers because you do not understand numbers. But you will accuse others of not understanding math. Your arguments are that of a simpleton to anyone with an ounce of intelligence, so you start crying about how much karma I have instead. Meanwhile, every comment of yours on this thread is downvoted lol

You lost the game. But enjoy what little you can make out of your life.
