      And SpaceX. Sorry pretend space nerds, Musk’s company is actually not that great, and none of his rockets will ever go to Mars, due to financing problems, cost overruns, and an insane approach to rocket design.

      Dude thinks he can iterative design rockets like theyre computer programs that can just be deleted and rewritten with the only cost being paying someone to write new code.

      Real, actual engineering does not work this way.

      Not that his approach works for self driving either.

        Are you stupid? Falcon 9 is the single most used rocket in the world, and it’s not even close.

        Don’t let your hatred force you to ignore facts. Musk is the most colossal asshole on the planet, but that does not invalidate the excellent work done by Shotwell and her team of engineers.
