It’s almost like it was by design.
They also just spy on their own citizens anyway, because who is going to stop them?
Ideological reasons? You think nasa hasn’t made reusable self landing rockets and boosters because of ideological reasons?
Sending something one way into space isn’t hard. Having it come back is. Having it, and all the parts that it took to get it there and back, be safely returned to earth and able to be reused is stupidly hard.
What points are you talking about exactly?
That's not putting eggs in a basket, that's just wasteful government as always. The same government that you guys want to take control of SpaceX lol.
"Turning into" lol. The USA and all their partner countries like the ones in the 5 Eyes program have all been mass techno-surveillance states for decades.
You say "failed", engineers say "ok what have we learned and what can we improve/fix from this?". These launches are tests. Every single launch is testing every single part of the hardware and software. Tests failing isn't a bad thing, as it helps you fix problems and make things better.
Did you stop reading after the first part of my sentence?
If NASA had as many rockets explode as SpaceX has, people like you would be screaming about the waste of taxpayer dollars.
The point of the launches that have ended in explosion were to test various parts of the systems and hardware, and to learn if/when a "disaster" does happen. That's how you improve things, make them better and safer. Would you prefer when we finally send people to the moon or to Mars that it's the first time we've launched that rocket? Those explosions weren't bad things.
And isn't it amazing how little government entities can do despite being given the same or more taxpayer dollars from the federal teat?
Private enterprise gets shit done because if they don't they go out of business and people lose their jobs, money, and livelihood. Government departments don't get shit done because they'll all keep their jobs and their pensions and their benefits no matter what. Again - NASA vs SpaceX.
It's not up to SpaceX to stop taking government handouts - it's up to the government to stop giving handouts.
I agree with you - they shouldn't get public funding. IMO anything the government funds they should own instead, but this doesn't mean they should take ownership of the things that they fund - they should instead use that funding to start their own taxpayer owned competitor.
I'm completely against government handouts for private business and NGOs btw.
Your comment says yes.
