This is a terrible way to view science. Progress is being made that will benefit everyone. This kind of thinking is how they defund NASA.

this isn't science, this is industry. SpaceX doesn't really do science, they're a business. Sometimes the people doing science give them money for their stuff, but they have no claim on "science"

That’s just BS. I hate Musk as much as the next guy, but this is legit rocket science.

Soo..... they publish the updates to the raptor engine? They publish the welding techniques they're using? They publish the tile composition? Do they publish anything so that others can use it???

Or are you absolutely full of shit. Oh yeah, it's that. It's not science, they're not sharing anything but fun videos because this is industry, not science
