spacex continuing to blow their new rocket design up is incredibly terrifying because it’s the one they're trying to build to send people to mars. it’s built on a billionaire’s understanding of rocket science with actual engineers trying to do what they can to reach what he wants while having their jobs on the line. it’s just a recipe for disaster especially when it’s built by and for a company that operates with profit motive.
there’s been so many other theoretical approaches to manned interplanetary travel yet the only one we’re going to see any time soon is probably going to be the emerald mining divorced dad’s “why fix what’s not broken just make it bigger duh” rocket because none of the other attempts can pull together the sort of funding to make it happen under this organization of the economy.
