People would be more excited for SpaceX missions, if it wasn't owned by a Nazi pedophile lover.

After the 100th launch to put more junk in orbit, it not only gets boring but it's also annoying knowing how much crap is being put into the sky.
I'd guess after the 50th or so launch to the moon that people would be less interested as well.
- Plenty of people were interested in Spacex flights. People did sour after he stopped looking like iron man and started being lex luthor by opening his mouth more
- Artemis is still not as impressive/envelope pushing to joe sixpack, since it's "just" flying around the moon again. By this time, we are expecting moon bases or other advances of technology, since you know, actually LANDING on the moon started in the late 60s. It's been 60 years.
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?
I’m pretty sure by his estimate we were supposed to have megastructures by now.
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.
????
People have been really hyped for space x, when they first landed a booster and now when they do test launches of Starship and when they caught the super heavy booster it was incredible.
People care about Artemis II because it's crewed spaceflight to the moon. Artemis I didn't get nearly as much attention.
Muskrat blows up 50 rockets for sport and puts air travel at risk for the lulz. SpaceX was initially interesting in that small vacuum of NASA activity, but nowhere in the same wheelhouse. All flash and no substance, like the rest of the tech bro industry.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Falcon 9 has the best launch record of any rocket ever. Its also vastly reduced the cost of rocket launches enabling space science to become accessible to way more people.
The booster recovery is still unmatched by anyone else and starship is a work of engineering magic and is still due to be the first ever fully reusable launch system.
I'd ask you what Musk's asshole tastes like, but I don't want to smell your breath.
Lmao, so because Im not blindly against Space X because Musk owns it that means I'm a Musk fanboy?
Does that mean anyone that means people that like the Artemis program like you are Trump fanboys since it was his administration that created it?
Trump's administration created NASA? That's news to me.
Near the moon anyway
not gonna crop out that username? isn't that an ad for Betty Bowers?
No, that’s kinda c/microblogmemes’ whole thing.
Do you like that ad?
no, I'm pointing it that it's not one, it's just the name of the person who said the thing
Then that make your original comment pointless, as you are calling on me to crop something that you said it's an ad, while you know it isn't.
Just another few billion we won't be getting back. The pictures are nice I guess.
