No wonder they are going down, if the only thing they did was change CEO, not much money in that.

Re: I'm starting to wonder
AC: Nobody is claiming that Gwynne has built a rocket.
cow:
Yes it a different skillset, but you completely overplay and over evaluate putting people in place compared to building rockets.
She can write as many emails as she likes but she isnt going to bullshit physics, and fix the problems that caused the last Starship to blow up.
Re: Mars ... to go, where no man will go
Elon doesnt want a Mars colony, he wants the American people to pay him to play with rocket pretending its about Mars.
Elons show and circus is working because you obviously cant tell. Elon doesnt care about his workers, what makes you think he cares about humanity and is doing the Mars thing because he cares ?
Its not quite that simple. As we have seen its not only engines that fail its many other parts. Its the weakest link, it only takes one to fail and the thing is toast.
Imagine hoping for not only one rocket to get into LEO, but dozens or hundreds which in turn provide fuel and more to others which must also be perfect on their trip to Mars, and then the Mars lander itself must be perfect on its landing.
WHat guarantee is there that the landing rockets will land and not blow up ?
The number of rockets is only the start of the SS problem.
Doing engineering in space to produce a tank that does not leak is going to be basically impossible. They will be building and launching tanks into space and hoping it works without the ability to manufacture and test on the ground. This is going to be an impossible task in terms of time required and cost because of the launch cost.
Then we have the problem of the constant change in SS itself. The tiles keeps changing. Sure they must or need to change but its basically a lottery. They have made no progress, they have tried many things and many have failed. I appreciate thats how rocket science works, but that doesnt change the fact they are no where nearer to actually accomplishing the simple task of landing on the Moon. Simple here is a label comparing the Moon and Mars. If you cant do the Moon today then tehres no way you can do Mars.
THey will never put anything on Mars except a suicide capsule. No base, just a prison, when the poor team there wishes they were in a Prison on earth because its paradise.
Re: I'm starting to wonder
So why not give credit to the engineers who actually did the work ?
Congratulations this is why America is going down the shithole. Pretending CEOs are gods, paying them billions while the real workers get shafted and paid next too nothing. THis is WHY and HOW America got Trump and Elon. Complete lack of honesty and balance which would have prevented all this mess and actually been a fair distribution based on merit instead of bullshit.
