I mean. We will see.
Many of the issues should never have happened. On launch day I remember people commenting within seconds of ignition that there was obvious large debris flying everywhere.
The investigation would never have had to happen with better controls and not outright lying on their reports.
- grecy 3y agoElon has a tweet in which he specifically says "Not building a deluge system on the pad might be a mistake, and time will tell". They're learning, they're taking risks and they're doing new things. Obviously they're not going to get everything flawless the first time around, and they're going to iterate and improve.
- kanbara 3y agothey’re THE launch provider. have been for a while. most successful and proven rockets. they dont need to go fast and break things; it’s not a startup. innovation can happen while also considering ideas such as “let’s not put a deluge system and just blow up the pad” — tho i suspect elon has something to do with that
- grecy 3y agoFalcon 9 is not a startup, but Starship certain my. You’re right though, they could run it like traditional space… and it would be just like SLS, New Glenn Ariene 6, etc They’re doing what they’re doing for a reason
- panick21_ 3y agoSo your opinion is that any large company must move slowly. That is literally 100% against Musk whole philosophy of innovation. The speed of innovation should be increasing, not decreasing. SpaceX can now invest more, and thus push innovation faster. Just using that new money to do the same thing slower would be stupid. This issue is exactly why so many large companies become un-innovative despite having huge R&D budgets.
- jackmott42 3y agowhich lie are you referring to specifically?
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoThe one where he said he'd be Reddit's Iron Man hero forever and now that he's betrayed that promise, everything he says or does gets the least charitable interpretation possible. Except he never actually said he'd be their hero, they just anointed him as one and likewise have since declared him to be their locus of anger and hate.
- grecy 3y ago> not outright lying on their reports Above you said he lied on a report, now you're saying he said something on Reddit. Show us the report he lied on.
- dotnet00 3y agoThe person you replied to isn't the one who made the claim about lying on reports. He's agreeing with you by saying that because Musk betrayed the "real life Iron Man" image imposed upon him, everything that goes wrong in anything related to him gets the most intentionally negative interpretation possible regardless of evidence, such as this claim about lying on reports.
