If not Musk should be forced from his roles in these companies. You cannot be a defense contractor and do ketamine.

failure up and down.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

DOD is also responsible for what they accept.

Arrest Musk on violation of controlled substances acts, file immigration violation charges, invalidate his ownership shares due to securities fraud, as he falsified education and naturalization forms.

Or just emminent domain the shit. The Law is just made up right now.

We should just fund NASA and let SpaceX and Starlink go bankrupt to competitors.

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

I've been saying this for years. the footprint that spaceX represents in national launch authority is out of whack to say the least.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (10 children)

The only reason SpaceX exists is because Boeing and Lockheed managed to compete so badly the only solution was to merge their launch businesses.

So we had one launch company, then spaceX made it two providers, now its back to one because B-mart is using antiquated launch systems (single use).
