SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites could make astronomy on Earth 'impossible' and create a space-junk nightmare, some scientists warn

"Question your constraints".
Yeah, he's an awkward listen and possibly a bit of an ego-maniac, but he's a clever fucker.
The first 6 or so minutes of this interview with 'Tim Dodd, Everyday Astronaut' are quite interesting, in seeing how a non-traditional non-engineer Chief Engineer of a rocket company views his craft.
I like that the camera man gets a little distracted at around 12:25 :)
.
I also just noticed that this thread is barely 5 years old. Quite amazing what they've managed to pull off in such a short space of time.

- Tweeting when high is dumb afchukkaphob
- why post in the SpaceX thread?monospaced
- Elon Musk = Tesla = SpaceX = Boring Co = CLINT
it's all one and the samechukkaphob - not really, nomonospaced
- This is about Tesla, which has its own thread. This thread is about SpaceX. Totally separate company.monospaced
- nah, that's how he makes it all looks. All the same BSchukkaphob
- what are you talking about? they have completely different staff, investors, board, etcmonospaced
- nah, it's all his ego, dude. Don't fall for it. LOLchukkaphob
- Huh?monospaced

FIRST LUNAR BFR MISSION

Thanks, inv :)Nairn - Was having tough start to week until I saw this.hotroddy

- You build it, they'll come. Nice to see first customer. Proof that sometimes you just got to build it to get people wanting it.shapesalad

- He’s so awkward yet endearing._niko
- What a waste of money and resources. Disgraceful. Egomaniacs, both of them.chukkaphob
- ^ I like that. Means he's human!mugwart
- what does that mean? "he's human?" Everyone is human. But these 2 are selfcentered wasteful egomaniac CLINTs.chukkaphob
- exploration is the reason you exist chukka. He is the modern day Magellanhotroddy
- ^ LMAO!chukkaphob
- Wasting everyone's resources to achieve something that has already been achieved half a century ago. For one billionaire.mekk
- It's a creative subsidy for a test flight. Either you get it, or you're against the very idea of developing space travel.
'SMH' as someone here often saysNairn - Well, we know how he dies.ShenanigansTV
- I am absolutely against space tourism. WTF people, we already destroy our own planet by intense traveling, are we exporting pollution to space now as well? smhmekk
- fuck's sake, space is exactly the best place for pollution - it's Bezos' ambition to promote off-world industrialism, all this is grist to the millNairn
- I sure hope you live your own life as parsimoniously and sanctinomiously as you imply here... no flights abroad, etc? No wee drives or use of plastic?Nairn
- Besides which, if the BFR works, it'll burn methane, which can potentially be created carbon-neutrally (indeed, is the point at the Mars end)Nairn
- btw, when I said 'space travel' I didn't specifically mean 'space tourism', rather the general evolution of that capability.Nairn
- ^ no flights, <5k ml /year driving, avoiding plastic when possible, yes. no big deal trying to have a low footprint.mekk
- Aye, likewise, although having a foreign partner who needs to go home twice a year has slightly fucked my intents. yet I think space tech's worth it.Nairn
- You can visit your partner in space then, wohomekk
- They will have an orgy in space, and for the first time it won't be pixellatedpinkfloyd
- so far we haven't found any life - so the pollution argument doesn't hold up.hotroddy

- you've made no point at all imbecile. Nobody cares what you say. Plenty care what Musk says. That's the difference.BusterBoy
- the difference if the level of expectation each of you seem to have. that is it. he like me, has no obligation to either of you. which was my point.imbecile

Elon Musk is a total fraud
One disastrous tweet has finally revealed Elon Musk for what he is: a fraud.
Enraged that a British cave diver called his idea to rescue the Thai soccer team for what it was — “a p.r. stunt [with] absolutely no chance of working” — Musk took to Twitter and called him a “pedo.”
Just like that, Tesla’s market value plummeted by $2 billion.
Musk has been in business since 2002. His stated goal is nothing short of transforming humanity through his products: his electric cars, space travel, and an underground high-speed Hyperloop system.
He has yet to succeed at anything but somehow spins every failure into proof of imminent success. His only accomplishment has been this decades-long Jedi mind trick.
