Good point, he hasn’t. However he has beaten every other company and government timeline. Plus changed orbital launches from a government focused business to a commercial one
SpaceX did that, Musk just claims credit. He was at his best when he just got good people;e and got out of the way, don’t know WTF is up now. Saw syphilitic dementia recently, as good an explanation as any…
Just for clarification, why is him pocketing the American public funds supposed to go to nasa an accomplishment? he took something that every American shared in, even the whole world shared in during the space race, and made it his private plaything he can exploit for profit in the future m.
Because NASA, with nearly 30 billion in funding and using technology designed half a century ago, took 11 years to build a Shuttle cosplaying as a Saturn V. They were legally mandated to. That’s not a dig at NASA, it’s a dig at the morons who hold their purse strings.
In roughly the same timeframe, SpaceX developed two brand new engines, both of which have amazing performance in their weight class. They developed a reusable medium lift rocket that’s now one of the most reliable launch vehicles ever. Now they’re working on a fully reusable super heavy launcher that’s capable of interplanetary missions. And they did all that without NASA’s budget.
Private launch companies, of which SpaceX is only one, allow for faster development, faster innovation and cheaper launches. They’re actually saving taxpayers money. And the amounts that NASA does pay them don’t just vanish into the CEOs’ pockets the moment the payment clears. It goes to engineers, maintenance workers, construction workers, caterers, everyone employed by these companies and their suppliers.
His craft will implode. But seriously he isn’t going to Mars, he was always all talk and acting like he’s Tony Stark, when in reality it was always other people doing the inventing, while he was being a rich kid jackass
True about all products. And yet, people write books about Steve Jobs and talk about all those company founders that developed nothing themselves except the very first version. Management is a crucial part of success.
Well… Devil advocate here. He believes he can get a crew to Mars in 2029 so if it happen it will be an historical event.
IF it happen…
Probably not.
Has he ever met an initial timeline? I mean it literally. Has it literally ever happened on a major Elon Musk-affiliated project?

Man, imagine imploding in a vacuum. Now THATS a fuckup

He can get them there. Just not back.
He can’t anything except pay for it, let’s not diminish the achievements of the actual talented people working on those projects.
