I'm not sure if it's because this is a particular engineering-learning crowd that is pro space or SpaceX or something else but the general lack of empathy toward a human being who has suffered is concerning when reading this thread, especially when you consider that this was in fact a very serious injury that could have been prevented with an appropriate adherence to safety protocol.
Move fast and break things was a terrible mantra but it seems to have seeped in...or perhaps was always there.
- bottlepalm 4y agoYour empathy has you blinded to the real motive here, the author doesn’t give a damn about the person. ‘Move fast and break things’ which the article has made you believe that means human safety. Now that you’ve taken the bait it’s time to spread your misinformation to your friends. Maybe make some tweets. That’s how the media controls you and the narrative.
- uni_rule 4y agoIf the history of avation is anything to go by, the incredibly stringent safety guidelines everybody must follow is not out of the goodness of their hearts but rather written by legislators in the blood of crash victims. The fact that NASA actually treats it's humans as not expendable must be the exception to the rule then. These companies won't mind literally shredding people to proceed faster than their competition unless they are actively forced not to. Having no regard for safety is a competitive advantage if the time saved allows a leg up over all competitors in such a fast moving market. Truly any concerns over a complete flippant ignorance of having safety procedures can be drowned out by an army of fanboys going "it's worth it because space" for free if everyone lets them.
