Ok I’m going to be that guy who sounds like a musk fanboy but rest assured I fucking hate that Nazi. That said, people don’t care about spacex launches because they have become so routine as to be boring.in a historical context there came a point where people stopped caring about airplanes because they stopped crashing. This is good. Rockets becoming reliable enough to become boring and routine is a net gain for humanity. I just wish spacex weren’t owned by that goose stepping fascist

Well also personally I lost interest because I got sick of Elon time. I'm pretty sure by his estimate we were supposed to have megastructures by now.

It's also worth noting that reusable rockets are interesting but if they just go up deploy satellite and then come back down that's not very interesting compared to going to the moon.

I know SpaceX are supposed to be building a lunar lander but we've heard nothing about that for years now. Where is it, Artemis III is going to need it in less than a year. Have they even started construction?

This exactly. Musk has been talking ginormic shit for decades, and delivered peanuts. Destroying the USA in the process.

How good is the re-usability even going? That's the only plus I see wrt SpaceX.

The re-useability is also mainly a marketing point. It sounds cool on paper but SpaceX only reduces the cost by 10% discount when utilizing old boosters. The usefulness of cost savings is overblown.

The usefulness ... is overblown.

Ain't that the truth for everything E Musk produces.
And it could be so great, done properly.
He's giving electric cars and reusable rockets a bad rep actually.
