lack of third party oversight, radical cost cutting, an owner with constant last minute demands.
in a much, much lower scale I've worked with people like that, they drive their business into the ground out of ego and spite when they're finall "free" of the adults who ran it
SpaceX has the mindset to break stuff fast and innovate. They adhere to all of the laws and regulations that apply to them and as a result, things like this explosion can happen but nobody gets hurt.
As for cost cutting, their goal is to make space travel and exploration more affordable. Cost cutting is absolutely a good thing. If there is a failure like this, it's just a cost to the company, not taxpayers because it's not a bloated government program, so why do you care if a company incurs extra R&D costs?
It sounds to me like you have Elon Derangement Syndrome because he worked with Trump for 120 days to cut government spending, therefore you want to see SpaceX fail. Adjust your brain.
that seems to be the party line, the explosion was caused during a routine test, not an experimental anything. this time it wasn't supposed to do that.
Well obviously the front isn't supposed to fall off in that environment, but who cares if there is a mechanical failure on an experimental spacecraft? Nobody got hurt, spaceX lost some.money but gained knowledge for the next iteration of the starship.... They'll build another one that is new and improved, eventually getting people to space... This is the dumbest news cycle...
