Make Elon Musk sit atop one of his shitty rockets the next time it launches.
It feels like he has to Titan submarine himself at this point. Maybe it'll be a cybertruck
SpaceX rockets are all but shitty, but you can claim it's despite Musk's involvement. Since it's been known he fires all the capable engineers who disagree with him.
In fairness, the Falcon 9 / Dragon capsule systems are solid and reliable, with good track records.
So its not literally all SpaceX stuff.
But... yeah, the Starship/HeavyBooster is what happens when Elon is in charge, utter shit show.
And also, the Falcon 9 family never actually got close to the cost reductions Elon initially said would be delivered by the re-usability paradigm.
It would have to be roughly an order of magnitude less expensive, for a ton to orbit, than what it currently is, to match what he said it would achieve.
as 18107 says, yeah, at various Musk companies, their have been people whose main job was primarily to distract him from getting involved very directly, but this has apparently stopped being a thing.
Just go find the conversation he had with some of the high ups on the Twitter team, when he took it over.
He just knows buzzwords, beyond that, probably most of the people in this thread are more intelligent than he is, on literally any subject... he has no idea how anything works beyond a very big picture / conceptual level.
This is what I was claiming, too.
You remind me of the recent declaration about launching data servers in orbit.
God, don't get me started on orbital data centers.
Either you cause kessler syndrome by launching a million microsats, or, you just I guess invent scifi level orbital engineering, and come up with a scifi solution for thermal regulation.
Also like, server databases require, you know, on site maintenance.
... its a very dumb, expensive idea.
I heard there was a person hired specifically to keep Elon away from the critical areas so he doesn't try to overrule a decision and destroy the company.
There was the whole department for it at Tesla, that's why their previous stuff was basically functional. Then something happened and they failed or got disbanded, and that's how cybertruck happened.
Probably give him a few easy to spot ‘problems’ to overrule, so that he doesn't meddle with the important things.
More than one, apparently
I prefer he sits at the bottom better.
