People always joke that a success like this will be blasted by the media as a failure, but it's the most predictable thing ever. Massive success today for SpaceX but the story is massive failure. So silly.
I'm as anti-Musk as the next, but it's also weird to see so many people gleeful that Musk must be so embarrassed at this 'massive failure'. Like, how uninformed do you have to be to think that Elon would be humiliated by such a resounding success? Oy.
- silveraxe93 3y agoNot just misinformed. How petty and I dunno, plain _evil_ do you have to be? This is a step into making humanity reaching the stars. Is seeing a guy you hate fail really all that matters?
- foobar_______ 3y agoThanks for saying this. Can people chill the fuck out and appreciate the world around them anymore? This was the largest rocket launch _ever_ from an American _private_ company using a novel launch configuration in the first fully integrated test _ever_ and people are complaining !?!?!? This makes me proud to be American, proud to be an engineer, and just stoked to be human. Let's show some humility and graciousness, people!
- dmix 3y ago> but it's also weird to see so many people gleeful that Musk must be so embarrassed These people are pretty easy to ignore if you don't venture into certain parts of Twitter and Reddit. Who cares what they're social media-brained minds think. It's just another hot take.
- valine 3y agoAlso notable is that unlike most heavy lift rockets in history they have a functional assembly line that can rapidly churn these things out. We should only have to wait a couple months for the next test flight.

- smrtinsert 3y agoMusk is humiliated when his tweets don't show up in everyones feeds, so its easy to see why that expectation exists.
