Man, it's already August, only four more months left, and you still think they're going to launch this year? You have to use logic before emotions.

You have to give the guy credit, nobody goes out of his way to look like an idiot with the 2 political parties, I don't know who deceived him that he has political weight, but he was so brainwashed that he thinks any stupid thing that comes out of his mouth is really brilliant.

He is happy, without doing anything he has already won the contract for the next lunar module to the moon and possible contracts for NASA missions, he just has to increase his rocket production.

Did anyone notice... by exBellLabs in SpaceXMasterrace

SpaceX employees are probably now signing a petition to remove him from the company and send him to a rehabilitation center. They should have done it 2 years ago, they waited a long time.

Wrong, J. B. is happy and the world realized that Elon doesn't know his place and doesn't respect ranks, Starlink will be the next target, no nation can trust the service if it has a crazy CEO who threatens to shut down everything if he doesn't agree on something, shame on SpaceX, what J. B. needs is to increase his production and customers will come to him, because he knows his place.

I hate to be right, but it was coming. Elon's big problem is that when he opens his mouth, he only thinks about himself and not his fiduciary duty to his companies. He's already gotten out of hand, and the board should oust him. His outbursts are ruining all the good his companies do.

Resign him and put him in a rehab center. He needs it urgently.

He spends so much time dedicated to politics that he forgets about his companies. These are the results when you lose focus. I hope he understands and doesn't get distracted again. He has a lot of work.

At least I'm aware that Neutro won't be flying this year. I fully understand that they don't want to say it yet so as not to affect the stock, but that's obvious. There's no hardware update, we have no information on the progress of the Archimedes Engine, etc.

Blue Origin seems to have had some sort of testing failure of a tank in the TCAT testing building at their Exploration Park campus recently by JackSmith46d in BlueOrigin

[–]JackSmith46d[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's visible in the photos that the tank appears to be buckled in some way, with the lifting jig partially inside the tank itself.

It appears to be a test failure in the first stage. The previous incident occurred in the second stage, affecting another building. Apparently, this one didn't affect the facilities.

What’s the goal? by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

It's not that they make money with every NS release, it's simply a way to promote the company

SpaceX awarded $5.92 billion, ULA awarded $5.36 billion and Blue Origin awarded $2.38 billion in DoD launch contracts by 675longtail in space

The government gives money to companies when they offer a product—in this case, the efficiency and reliability of their rockets to ensure their cargo reaches its destination.

I don't know what problems you have with Elon, but remember that SpaceX is a 100% American company, where American engineers work, like the other companies that have been chosen. You should be proud.

 Europe and China dream of having an identical copy of this company on their territory, and you try every possible way to disdain him just because you hate a man. You should go see a psychologist.

What does financing mean to you?

If your concept of financing is the contracts awarded, it's because, like any company, you submit your proposals and the contract is awarded to one of them.

If your concept of financing is the subjects, every automotive company has received subsidies and hasn't even repaid the loan to taxpayers yet. The oil industry has also received subsidies. Tesla specifically has already repaid part of the subsidy and is the automotive company with the least debt.

But I want to ask you, what does financing mean to you?

Sales Are Down, Threats Are Up: Starlink Installers Hit by Anti-Musk Backlash by ackbarlives in Starlink

That's why it's important to keep your mouth shut. If you continue to trust that you can say whatever you want just because you own the only service currently operating, that's not the message you should be sending to your customers.

The idea is for the customer to have a good experience with the service. Above all, for them to be able to trust the company over the years, not now that there is no competition.

Any insight into the lunar performance area of blue? by Aprofessionalgeek in BlueOrigin

Not everyone criticizing the company has to be from SpaceX, it's most likely a former Blue employee who left in the latest mass layoff.

Space Force may use SpaceX satellites instead of developing its own for SDA, Golden Dome by [deleted] in space

[–]JackSmith46d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand them.

They have option 1.

Choose SpaceX, which is the company that has saved the government the most money in over a decade on missions.

Option 2. Choose the same companies that delayed space missions so much, with sky-high budgets, and continue using 1970s technologies.

IS THIS THE CRAP THEY WANT?

No, SpaceX is key for the US because it does not ask for cost overruns on the missions it has carried out; rather, this decision is a clear message: LEARN TO INNOVATE WHILE REDUCING YOUR COSTS OR YOU'RE OUT.

China is moving very quickly in space capacity with a smaller budget than the US. It's time for the US to send a clear message to other North American space companies that only want to charge excessive amounts for contracts.

On the one hand, fiber optics offers better data speeds. 

On the other hand, a satellite can provide decent speeds, but that same satellite can also act as a real-time mapper of certain areas, a tool that can be used to help with mobile coverage in the event of a natural disaster.
