The reality of it is that men are expendable, from a population standpoint. Birth rates are far more limited by the number of women than the number of men, since pregnancy and gestation takes so long.
Obviously this is over reductive, but it’s one way to approach the question.
I don’t think he’s terribly involved at SpaceX these days. Other than causing schedule pressure… which certainly may have caused this failure by not giving the engineers proper time to research and fix the issue from the previous launch.
Surely shutting down failed engines is part of the fire suppression plan, no?
“The cause remains unclear” lmao
As if everyone on the livestream couldn’t see the fire in the engine bay, the exact problem that blew up the last rocket too.
Obviously the fire suppression failed again and it caused an energetic failure in one or more engines, flinging Starship into a rapid spin. It held on for, I dunno, 30 seconds to a minute, until they sent the kill command.
Trust me, they aren’t. But neither are the Americans.
Elon has always been a terrible person, but he was once focused on things that society actually needed, like electrifying transportation to avoid climate collapse.
He seems to have gone sharply downhill into total insanity by taking ketamine while locking himself in a rightwing echo chamber. It’s the perfect storm of dissociating from reality.
I dig the meme, but not the fact it’s AI generated.
I’m sure they did. I doubt they had enough time to make the correct changes since the launch cadence is too high.
