    Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other... anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.

    I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.

    Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead...

    The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.

    For fucks sake.

    I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that's the first place you went. What the fuck?

    Yeah, but there's also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don't explode...

    But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug

    So by your own metrics you just said...

    NASA is better than SpaceX.

    No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.

    SpaceX has only had 2 mission failures out of 274 total missions. Since 2017 SpaceX has had a 100% success rate which is a vast majority of its total missions. The recent explosions have been test rockets and expected to blow up, it's how they learn and innovate so quickly. NASA takes billions of dollars and 10+ years to successfully launch a rocket on the first attempt. It's just 2 different approaches to design and innovation.

    why SpaceX is bad.

    For example they "decorated" our night sky with thousands of their satellites. Never asked permission. Astronomers around the globe are pissed because their work & results gets worse. Other people who own satellites are pissed because they don't behave up there.

    Providing global Internet is worth it. That said, I'd much rather see it done in a non profit way, and definitely not under the muskrat's control.

    Private companies have no business being in space. It sets a dangerous precedent for the future.

    Any good publicity for SpaceX is ultimately good publicity for Musk, who's made himself the face of that company too.
