ok freedumb, I get it, you're not reading, just responding. gonna block you now

I don’t think what I’m saying is controversial.

no, it's simply business as usual, nothing ever changes, nothing ever improves, and fuck you america, that's the way it has to be because reasons.

I strongly suspect NASA can manage spaceX better than the ketamine kid. Why don't you give a fuck about those astronauts who have to put their faith in his hardware? why don't you give a fuck about the kids who are growing up in an age where that drug addled prick is put up as an icon of success?

Do you really think soldiers sailors and airmen (and spacemonkeys) should have to rely on that HORSE DRUG ADDICTED PRICK for their mission critical infrastructure?

If you do, fuck right off, you're either a musk fanboy or stockholder.

Either way, get bent.

sure thing bud. I'm not going to waste my afternoon going through your shitstream to point out how you're wrong, I simply have better things to do with my life. in fact, gonna block you now, QOL plus

Sure thing sport. I must be a tankie lol. You toolbag

you genuinely don't care that critical national infrastructure - literally our ability to put stuff into orbit - is compromised by this penny ante shitbird. I get it, fanboys don't use logic.

You haven’t put your eggs in any basket.

$38 billion in government funding. huh.

what reality do you live in?

By your logic spaceX should stop taking gov $ then.

Just because something is private doesn't mean they should get public funding.

remember the halcyon days when NASA could do something and the president might not like it, but they were all FUCKING ADULTS and the grift was well distributed amongst the congresscreatures, so it never devolved into adolescent twitter whining?

goddamn those were better than whatever this shit is

isn't it amazing how much private companies can do when given hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from the federal teat?

wow. that private enterprise just rocketing up out of the atmosphere by yanking on it's bootstraps so hard.

just, you know, after a few more hundred million, burp. ahem. just a few more.

Tankies

boy howdy you've got the entire strawman army mustered in this thread.

The precedent that will set and the implications

and what precedent is there for dealing with the executive of your country's entire space launch infrastructure when they become dependent on horse drugs?

No really, what's the precedent here, I want to know. Because if we set a precedent by ignoring it until the problem is impossible to ignore, that's gonna be a far more expensive fix.

So yeah, yeah we should consider this very strongly.

SpaceX's largest customer is the US government; once that relationship has been repaired I'm ambivalent about private/public ownership.

HMmmmM?

because let's be honest, without tons of US GOV'T SUPPORT, SpaceX wouldn't have ever been able to provide all those POPs, terminals and services. Funny thing that.

we’re not going to nationalize the entire economy because that’s really stupid.

Yes, that's why no one in this entire thread suggested anything even remotely close to this. it's stupid, and a stupid strawman.

Nationalizing spaceX temporarily in order to restore confidence in it's largest, most important customer, after that customer's trust has been repeatedly violated by the executive and the board that keeps him in power, is NOT NATIONALIZING THE ENTIRE ECONOMY nor would it be untoward if Boeing or Lockheed's CEO was dumb enough to engage in this bullshit.

how can you trust a board that trusts such incompetence, for DOD projects no less?

failure up and down.

this isn't incorrect. ULA is a fucking pork barrel of hideous proportions. doesn't mean we shouldn't nationalize spacex.

I've been saying this for years. the footprint that spaceX represents in national launch authority is out of whack to say the least.

and add a couple of frames to the sprite sheet in order to animate the scarf if that's required.

one, show up, please, on time please, but not like 3 hours early...

two, if you want food, bring food you want. if my snack supplies don't suit your palette.... that's not my problem to solve.

three, for gygax's sake remember, it's a game, a game, it's got chutes and ladders yo, it's not the instant gratification machine some think it is.

consider for a moment: in any pre-2016 administration, simply - even completely jokingly - referring to acquiring Canada and Greenland would probably be a scandal if not a career-ending disgrace.

It's so fucking cringe-stupid, when examined from any angle - diplomatic, logistical, tactical or strategic - much less humanitarian - so unutterably fucking half-witted - and is universally received that way except for conservatives, who have rigged the government through gerrymandering and vote tampering, so they are the only ones who could be shamed into doing something about HERR FUCKING MORON, and as we see time and again: Conservatives have no shame. They don't care what they look like, they can worry about that after they've installed a tyrant moron.
