@michaelgemar@cosocial.ca they play disinformation games to hide failures. it's basically rehashed 70s tech long ago calculated to be unviable long term. private slush money hides that end of the fraud while the tech fails at the other end.
Satellite deployment: FAIL (door wouldn’t open)
Orbital maneuvers: FAIL (spacecraft started spinning)
Controlled reentry: FAIL (lost contact, uncontrolled landing)
Mission completion: FAIL (lost vehicle)

@flyingpenguin@infosec.exchange Yeah, Starship has serious issues. (Falcon 9/Heavy is very solid, however.) I wonder if part of the difference is Musk’s increasingly irrational and narcissistic turn in later years.
