They didn’t circumvent the issue - they did what Microsoft tell developers to do in regards to their programs and recall lol.

This is just a thinly veiled ad for AdGuard.

If you would get that why wouldn’t you just get a Galaxy S2X Ultra?

So you think those privately funded politicians should be in charge of the state of SpaceX?

Your comment says yes.

It’s almost like it was by design.

They also just spy on their own citizens anyway, because who is going to stop them?

Ideological reasons? You think nasa hasn’t made reusable self landing rockets and boosters because of ideological reasons?

Sending something one way into space isn’t hard. Having it come back is. Having it, and all the parts that it took to get it there and back, be safely returned to earth and able to be reused is stupidly hard.

What points are you talking about exactly?

That’s not putting eggs in a basket, that’s just wasteful government as always. The same government that you guys want to take control of SpaceX lol.

“Turning into” lol. The USA and all their partner countries like the ones in the 5 Eyes program have all been mass techno-surveillance states for decades.

You say “failed”, engineers say “ok what have we learned and what can we improve/fix from this?”. These launches are tests. Every single launch is testing every single part of the hardware and software. Tests failing isn’t a bad thing, as it helps you fix problems and make things better.

Did you stop reading after the first part of my sentence?

If NASA had as many rockets explode as SpaceX has, people like you would be screaming about the waste of taxpayer dollars.

The point of the launches that have ended in explosion were to test various parts of the systems and hardware, and to learn if/when a “disaster” does happen. That’s how you improve things, make them better and safer. Would you prefer when we finally send people to the moon or to Mars that it’s the first time we’ve launched that rocket? Those explosions weren’t bad things.

And isn’t it amazing how little government entities can do despite being given the same or more taxpayer dollars from the federal teat?

Private enterprise gets shit done because if they don’t they go out of business and people lose their jobs, money, and livelihood. Government departments don’t get shit done because they’ll all keep their jobs and their pensions and their benefits no matter what. Again - NASA vs SpaceX.

It’s not up to SpaceX to stop taking government handouts - it’s up to the government to stop giving handouts.

I agree with you - they shouldn’t get public funding. IMO anything the government funds they should own instead, but this doesn’t mean they should take ownership of the things that they fund - they should instead use that funding to start their own taxpayer owned competitor.

I’m completely against government handouts for private business and NGOs btw.

You haven’t put your eggs in any basket. SpaceX are a private company. The government owns NASA, they can pour money into that and hire people to do what SpaceX are doing. Hell, they could poach people from SpaceX!

Why do you think they haven’t already done this? Because the government don’t care about it. If someone else will do it they can use them to provide their services via ludicrously expensive contracts, and give them massive subsidies, as is the Government way.

The government taking over SpaceX is not something anyone with even half a brain should be wanting. It makes ZERO sense. It doesn’t matter who owns it privately, just not the government because they will fuck it up and/or neglect it - like they did with NASA and most of their other projects.

And why do you think they have zero budget? The government lol. You think if the same government takes over SpaceX they’ll all of a sudden give them the huge budget that they need?

It’s hilarious seeing all these “anti oligarch” people come out of the woodwork now that it’s a catchphrase of their political party, despite that party being run by oligarchs.

Like you said, this is how the world has been essentially forever. People are only against it now that their teams oligarchs are upset that they aren’t in as much control as usual.

The problem would be that nationalising them in this day and age would mean prices would get even worse for everyone, as the government having a monopoly on these things would mean they can charge whatever they want, and with the amount of debt and deficit they have, they’d charge a lot.
