It was 6 months to the next launch after he "almost set the entire Starship project back a year." And after the next launch, which didn't destroy the pad, it was 4 months to the next launch. So maybe he set it back two months. Maybe. He also came up with building it out of stainless steel, which worked, and catching it at the launch tower. But I'm sure you know better.

>So maybe he set it back two months. Maybe. So you didn't follow it at all? Because multiple government agencies were considering blocking them full-stop for an extended period of time after that disaster. So "maybe 2 months" was their absolute best-case scenario. https://www.tpr.org/environment/2023-04-27/photos-spacex-is-grounded-after-rocket-explosion-caused-extensive-environmental-damage https://www.tpr.org/environment/2023-04-27/photos-spacex-is-... >He also came up with building it out of stainless steel And you know he was the one who personally came up with that idea... how? You work at Space-X? Or you've just read a couple press releases where he took credit for it? Elon has a long history of taking credit for other people's ideas. And I'm willing to bet whatever you'd like to risk that one of the engineers at Space-X suggested using stainless steel, not Elon.

  "Disaster" LOL. 0 injuries. That's how Spacex does it. Blow it up and iterate, and that's why they are decades ahead of the competition. So useless government bureaucrats, not Elon Musk, almost set them back a year over a stupid concrete launch pad.

    LOL killing protected wildlife and destroying protected wetlands is funny! Government is useless and clean water is for betas! Tell me you’re an Elon apologist without telling me you’re an Elon apologist.
