Back at the end of August, Starship had a fairly successful launch, which achieved all of the objectives that were set forth by SpaceX.
Its exciting to see a rocket of that scale lift off and return. It may very well herald a new era for space exploration.
But can we talk for a minute about how the media simply said this is redemption for all Musk has done? I mean...really? After all the nonsense, having one successful flight absolves him? He owns the company and invested heavily in the success and there's a lot to be said for essentially letting his smart rocket scientists do their thing. But its *their* accomplishment. The guy is still a turd.
And even the shirt he was wearing during an interview should remind us of that.
Can someone please tell me, other than ego, what the purpose of going to Mars actually is? He has a whole timeline because he wants to. And he's rich. And it serves his ego. But lets have a purpose. Unless you want to send yourself and some of the other jackholes who are in power to the planet... then please have at it.
