How is NASA a competitor to SpaceX?
Because we live in clown world
They both shoot rockets up in the sky. Our government could pay NASA to do it, or pay Space X.
NASA does not build it’s own rockets (anymore) they make the payloads. NASA will never make rockets as good/cheap as a companies like ULA and SpaceX.
Take a look at the cluster fuck that is the SLS if you want an example
Can Space X make the payloads?
SpaceX can make the payloads, and they already do in the form of starlink.
NASA carries out research/experiments something that spaceX probably doesn’t want to compete in since for the most part it does not pay
->Musk’s team launches the most expensive firework ever blowing up and disrupting air traffic and destroying the environment again for the eighth time
WHY ARE THEIR ROCKETS NOT EXPLODING!!?
— Rocket X. Hitler
I might actually gain a tiny, minuscule bit of respect for him if he officially changes his name to Rocket Hitler
I want more Kung Fury and I want him fighting Rocket X. Hitler III
Felon Musk
Let Apple rain Terror on this damn Nazi.
It certainly is a weird timeline when Apple is the good guy.
Wasn’t Tim Cook one of the first to donate to Trump’s Inauguration? Did they at least protest DEI scrapping (excluding some shareholders) or Gulf of Mexico rename, or bent over like rest of big tech? I’m honestly not seeing it, to be Apple is as bad as google
Yes. Tim Apple gave the $1M bribe to Orange Donald.
Tim Cook
Never heard of him. Do you mean Tim Apple?
Reminds me of March 24 to November 10, 2001, when Apple had embraced Unix and – to some extent – open source by releasing OS X, but had not yet pivoted towards glued-shut and DRM’d consumer electronics by releasing the iPod.
OSX was never really open sourced. If you tried compiling it, you’d have found it wouldn’t work because it was incomplete.
Darwin was just their version of BSD which they released in order to comply with the license, but the actual Desktop/UI was a separate stack. You could build and install Darwin, but it wouldn’t do anything.
Wasn’t that because they desperately needed a new OS and just acquired Steve Jobs’ company NeXT who had an OS called NeXTSTEP which was based on Mach kernel and BSD. They didn’t embrace Unix and open sourcing out of goodwill.
Isn’t this sorta how the Corporate Wars started in the Cyberpunk universe?
Elon is such a bitch
Must be trying to hide fraud and waste. Better set up a commission to investigate them and start firing spacex execs.
So much for the free market unless it no longer benefits SpaceX and Elon Musk in general. Welcome to post capitalistic America!
Someone should troll libertarians on reddit with this
As someone who relies on Starlink to get functional Internet access? Please, please give me more options.
4g and 5g at home installs are pretty viable for most of the US.
If you choose to live that far outside of civilization, frankly, that’s a you problem. Not something worth littering space and pur atmosphere when they burn up on re-entry.
Not everyone can live in urban areas. This is such a stupid take. Fuck farmers and other folks who’s livelihood relies on being further out from living centers, I guess.
And most rural areas are covered just fine with 5G and 4G service. The only areas completely out of range of that tech would be like, middle of BLM land.
But on that note, yes, as you move farther from civilization, you get less civilization. That’s just a fact of the economic system those farmers just LOVE.
capitalism truly spurs competition and innovation
Say thank you, small man.
Beg 🙂
Like a dog🦴
If you really hate Elon Musk, I have two words for you. “Thanks Obama”
Every single aspect of Elon’s “success” has been heavily subsidized or paid for by the US government (aka, tax payers).
Obama did not make Elon a narcissist cry baby now did he?
We know the “joke.” But that wasn’t what you were doing. You are actually literally blaming Obama.
Sure. That’s why I put it in quotes AND italics. Let’s also ignore the context that Elon is once again begging the federal government to save his ass.
The joke didn’t land. I’ll take that L.
Well maybe you don’t get the joke then… It’s meant to be sarcastic. So when you’re actually earnestly blaming Obama for something, it doesn’t read as a joke anymore.
If I was earnestly blaming Obama, I wouldn’t have purposely phrased it and typed it the way I did.
I was too subtle and it didn’t land. It happens.
If a crook steals a watch, you gonna jail the crook or jail the guy who makes timex?
read my edit
What is this L take my guy?
Elon was loved by every forward facing democratic liberalism / é o-conscious person for years.
You cannot read people’s hearts or minds except from how they act.
And I did not see any favist/overreaching actions, even the actual delusion of grandeur, when Obama was president.
On the contrary.
And if I remember correctly Obama told him off in multiple instances.
Did everyone really forget about the “Thanks Obama” joke? Anyway, I clarified my point in the edit.
This very much ignores that there are tangible benefits from the successes of SpaceX’s engineers and scientists.
Also, who’s this Elon guy? He sounds like a twat.
Everything SpaceX is doing and has done could have been done by NASA had NASA been given the equivalent funds and leeway. This has been covered multiple times in many interviews of NASA scientists and engineers. Simply put, NASA cannot afford and is not allowed to take risks. They are not allowed to blow up ships over Florida and the Caribbean until they figure it out. They used to be allowed, but not anymore.
Found another uneducated one.
