SpaceX has never met any milestone that Elon has ever set.
- modeless 10mo agoOTOH they have achieved many things that experienced people said were impossible or would never make financial sense.
- DonHopkins 10mo agoOTOH they have a huge batshit crazy fanbase of boot lickers who are so gullible they'll believe and parrot anything Elon says.
- matheusmoreira 10mo agoSpaceX created reusable rockets that can fly back to the launch platforms and land gracefully. Hard to blame people for becoming fans. Before them stuff like this only existed in kerbal and sci-fi.
- exmadscientist 10mo agoBecoming a fan of someone or something is great! Accepting everything they then do, forever, even when it's obviously nonsense, is what gets you called a "huge batshit crazy fanbase of boot lickers". This "idea" is great party conversation. It's probably doing a great job of shoving around the Overton window, too (perhaps the real goal here?). It's, uh, not realistic, and anyone who is seriously "all in" on it (you're allowed to consider it and to dream, that's not the same as being all in) is not worth taking seriously no matter how much of the oxygen in the room they're using up.

- baq 10mo ago...on time. the first booster landing after delivering a payload to orbit was quite something and made a serious stir in the industry.
