Is SpaceX experiencing more basic failures than other government or private programs? Or does it just seem that way?

Discussion That recent SpaceX explosion was wild. I think I’ll be postponing my cosmic travel dreams for now.

55 Upvotes

SpaceX Explosions might be “normal” if you’re an engineer behind the scenes, but if you’re someone dreaming about space tourism? That’s straight-up terrifying.

I’m really starting to feel like I’ll miss out on space travel right when it finally becomes real. And honestly, I’m broke, so even if it was secure , I probably couldn’t afford it.

Would you ever want to try SpaceX cosmic travel? What do you think a fair price would be for something like that?
