So, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I in no way intend to slow down the dick jokes or mockery of Elon Musk that is happening around here. I am a both/and kind of person.

In that spirit, I want to both/and say that EVERY rocket program blows shit up, and that the history of SpaceX is to blow shit up in the beginning of a new rocket program, then get it right, then fire off orbital-class rockets one after the other more safely, more reliably, and more often than any other rocket builder in history.

I'm impressed with what the company has done in its rocket programs, even if I'm completely appalled that billionaires exist and are spending this money on anything other than fighting global destruction of the climate, global destruction of the environment, hunger, lack of healthcare, and lack of education.

We're structurally fucked up to create Elon Musks and SpaceXs, but the latter is still damn, damn good at rocket science and engineering.

Hey, Elon, you're right. You're not a Nazi. Real Nazi's can get their rockets to their targets.
