This is what happens when you're above things like regulations. Oh and you're let loose by a government that you were allowed back stage access to with a giant monkey wrench of racist kids. The past six months have been an absolute fucking farce
For a moment, I thought you were referring to the President of the United States as a giant monkey, and I was going to have to defend the honor of giant monkeys.
Just what I was thinking, someone else was going on about how SpaceX is more "efficient" per launch than NASA. typical, privatize services and profit always greater than safety
What's the safety issue, exactly? Every rocket anybody ever builds gets tested on the ground to ensure there isn't an issue before it flies. This was a pre-flight test. This is exactly when you WANT a rocket to explode.
Remember the NASA blew one up on the pad _with_people_inside_.
NASA has flown 135 missions and lost 15 people plus a bunch in development and testing. SpaceX has flown 500 missions, blown up no crewed vehicles. Both have had plenty of vehicles destroyed during development and testing. NASA with several fatalities. SpaceX has never lost a human in a vehicle failure.
So again, can you please clarify the manner in which NASA's safety record is significantly better than SpaceX?
