I understand that people are mad at Musk, but despite that I can not really see any other organisations that have a potential of moving space exploration further. It just feels bad to me, I wanted Starship to happen
You mean that the thing NASA was able to do before being defunded cannot be done by anyone but the company sucking all the funding NASA used to have?.... hmmm I wonder how that can be addressed
I wanted Starship to happen too. Wanted. Not anymore. And I suspect a similar change happened among Musk's engineers. They're gonna bleed him dry and let someone else take the lead.
