OMG OK that's it. Tesla cars are now out of the question for me and if I ever get the chance to ride on a SpaceX ship (not very likely) I think I'd decline. Totally different companies ofc but the same master "mind" behind.
This guy represents everything that you do not want to see in a CEO.
NO THANK YOU
It really seems like SpaceX worked for real. They now have the best safety record for any booster and most of the world’s space traffic. What’s their reusability record now, is it 16 flights on one rocket? You can’t argue with that result.
I don’t know what he did to get to the point of “fail fast” during development but they put their money where their mouth is. Multiple catastrophic test failures that would have been career ending anywhere else, seemingly weren’t, and they appeared to have a very fast (for rocketry) and very successful program
SpaceX is now old space. They are the launch capacity of the USA. It's ridiculous actually
