  > wanted to get ahead of things before things took a downward trend I see. > just compare to the reddit posts on this subject Oh i believe you. I would like to spare my own sanity. :) > it's full of people mocking it and calling out people for being "deceived" Oh. That is sad. If there is anyone this debacle reflects badly on that is SpaceX. And not because of the delays, that is entirely normal. But because i believe with better client communications they could have kept the dearmoon person in the loop. Either they haven’t set the right expectations with him initially, or they have lost his trust along the way. Which is not cool. It also reflects badly on Yusaku Maezawa. He was either naive (if he thought there won’t be a delay), or fickle (if he understood that there might be a delay and had a change of heart). But ultimately his job is to get the finances and then sit in a can. So it reflects badly on him much much less, maybe none at all. On the other “astronauts” like Tim, i see no blame. I see how what happened must feel soul crushing. Even if they believed in the trip only a little bit they must feel as if they have been robbed of an opportunity. Trully sad. I hope they will find the way to handle this and be able to go forward with their projects.
