Yeah, but there's also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don't explode...
But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug
So by your own metrics you just said...
NASA is better than SpaceX.
No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.
I did not say NASA was better than SpaceX. You are putting words in my mouth. Don't do that.
Here is a link to a comment that discusses exactly what you are saying, and it was posted before your comment. So maybe read first then comment.

SpaceX has only had 2 mission failures out of 274 total missions. Since 2017 SpaceX has had a 100% success rate which is a vast majority of its total missions. The recent explosions have been test rockets and expected to blow up, it's how they learn and innovate so quickly. NASA takes billions of dollars and 10+ years to successfully launch a rocket on the first attempt. It's just 2 different approaches to design and innovation.
Nah dude. You don't understand. A guy we don't like is tangibly related to the space program. Fuck all them scientists and engineers. They're all evil. Every. Single. One of them.
Personal insults and incorrectly using "big words"...
For some reason the people who defend Musk and his companies love doing that.
Does it work on 4chan? Is that where you all get this from?
Could you please tell me what "big words" they used? I don't see anything outside normal vocabulary.
Hopefully you don't take this as me defending musk in some way.
