    ???

    People have been really hyped for space x, when they first landed a booster and now when they do test launches of Starship and when they caught the super heavy booster it was incredible.

    People care about Artemis II because it’s crewed spaceflight to the moon. Artemis I didn’t get nearly as much attention.

      Muskrat blows up 50 rockets for sport and puts air travel at risk for the lulz. SpaceX was initially interesting in that small vacuum of NASA activity, but nowhere in the same wheelhouse. All flash and no substance, like the rest of the tech bro industry.

        You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

        Falcon 9 has the best launch record of any rocket ever. Its also vastly reduced the cost of rocket launches enabling space science to become accessible to way more people.

        The booster recovery is still unmatched by anyone else and starship is a work of engineering magic and is still due to be the first ever fully reusable launch system.

            Lmao, so because Im not blindly against Space X because Musk owns it that means I’m a Musk fanboy?

            Does that mean anyone that means people that like the Artemis program like you are Trump fanboys since it was his administration that created it?
