I cannot see how you'd be confused, read the article and it seems very clear that the tone is negative, but still I'll bite.
1) Congratulate your fellow scientists for their achievement.
2) It can mention opinions from other scientists, but again, the tone should be at least a little bit less "us vs them".
3) Absolutely, which is why this article is so out of place, the author does even try to give a thumbs up to SpaceX for their work and just rambles about USA/NATO vs Russia.
4) Fair point, but no new developments and improvements mean that the price stays high. Reusable rockets mean that costs will go down and will become more accessible.
- tareqak 6y agoI read the article. I associate the negative tone with a defensiveness that comes from feeling as if one is under attack, which I would attribute to lingering Cold War rhetoric repurposed for modern-day politics. 1) I posted links to the congratulatory tweets and press releases here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479424 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479424 . For whatever reason, this press release was chosen to be submitted instead. 2) I posted what seemed to the response to an attack here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479344 . I have not found evidence of the attack after I spent some time searching, so I do not know what event is being referenced.
