I really don't understand how people try to defend Elon Musk and team on anything and everything they do. It's nice they are pushing the edge, but please, when things fail, let's acknowledge failure and shortcomings and learn from them rather than try to spin everything SpaceX or Tesla does as faultless and forward.
- jswny 7y agoI assume that lots of people have financial stake in Tesla, and because of that have an inherent bias that often shows up when they comment on things. If you believe in Tesla, you may be long $TSLA, and you might tend to want to see the bright side of everything they do.
- catalogia 7y agoI wish these sort of meta-comments would be posted as replies to the comments they're applicable to, instead of leaving it to the reader to figure out which comments you're criticizing.

- fendy3002 7y agoHa, say that to my previous PM...
- ccmcarey 7y agoPersonally, concern that if they fail, the innovation they've been forcing everyone in the industry to push forward with stops.
- imron 7y agoHow many rockets did SpaceX blow up before they were able to launch anything in to orbit and then again how many until they were able to successfully land first stages? After learning from all those failures they now have reusable first stage rockets and have moved the entire space industry forward. Same thing happening here.
