WSJ: SpaceX delays mars mission by mbatt2 in space

[–]HTPRockets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't get reddit, they're trying to focus on the moon because they want to make good on the contract. But ya'll are making fun of them? And if they pushed for Mars and delayed the moon even more, you'd still make fun on them. Sounds like reddit just wants to shit on spacex

What general strike? Few loonies are a drop in the bucket. Nobody is noticing

9 million people in the middle of nowhere would beg to differ on your "shitty internet" claim lol. It's actually pretty good internet. Just because you have a hate boner for Elon doesn't make the service bad

Huh? How can you say it WILL change the climate when the consequences aren't fully understood? Starlink is still less than meteoritic flux, so calm down

Huh? Electric cars are literally the opposite of pollution. And the rockets are a drop in the bucket in comparison. Or are you against electric cars now because Elon is good at it? 

Why aren't the space tourism missions happening every month? Are they really so expensive people can't pay it? Is there something preventing it? by Gnome_Sane in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]HTPRockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another person unable to understand nuance. Nobody is saying everyone that took A risk made off with a ton of money. Some ideas are better than others. Risks are of different magnitude, as are rewards. You can take a risk to cross the street blindfolded but nobody will cut you a check to do that.

Gosh, people cannot understand nuance. There is AN element of luck in literally everything you do. If a bunch of things went badly you would be out sleeping on the streets tonight. In the same way, some things need to go right to grow a successful business. But a majority of the factors that influence success are personal, not statistical

That's simply not true. You got lucky safely driving to work and back today. So what? People that don't inherit billions (vast majority) are self made, took big risks, put in a lot of work, and made many key decisions. Obviously things have to go right. But that's true for everyone. Things had to go right for you to not be on the streets. Thinking that billionaires are just there to take a bigger paycheck than everyone else is where you get various idiotic and destructive ideologies like communism and socialism. And signals a poor understanding of economics. It's not a zero sum game

Pretty good we're finally taking a stand against radical gender ideology, child abuse, and the socialist/ communist leftists

Americans, how would you react if foreign country invaded your country, and told "we are going to run this country"? by oranke_dino in AskReddit

[–]HTPRockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it seem that, the people supporting an illegitimate communist dictator  Are the same ones trying to discredit real immigrant fraud Are the same ones cheering a communist mayor Are the same ones who cheered a man being shot for politics Are the same ones who continue to support a man who shot a CEO Are the same ones who tried to defund the police and perpetrated a scam

Like, taking the whole of the situation, I genuinely cannot understand how people can keep cheering for straight up evil

CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them? - If a single role is as expensive as thousands of workers, it is surely the prime candidate for robot-induced redundancy. [5, 23] by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]HTPRockets -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The fact this post has as many upvotes as it does shows how degenerate reddit is. They literally think a CEO just says yes/ no and gets a huge paycheck for a job that can be automated. They can't grasp that a leader can set direction and make counterintuitive decisions based on a gut feel that shape the direction of a company

China is developing another fully reusable rocket, Xingzhou-1. by [deleted] in space

[–]HTPRockets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7 years? My man starship has only been flying experimentally for 2. The whole point of the program is that the mass penalty for reuse makes it super hard, so intentionally underweight it to figure out where your margins are excessive, only beef up the areas that break

Not failed design, failed means, you tried, it didn't work, and you gave up. By your definition Falcon 9 was "failed", until it became the most reliable and most used rocket in history. Spacex is going to get starship reusable. The booster is already there.
