So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.

      Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other… anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.

      I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.

        Destroying environments? Wasting money and fuel on false-promises (the Elon way)? I’m sure there’s a tonne of other reasons.

            Space. They’re killing radio astronomy, endangering optical astronomy and threatening everything else in orbit, from telecoms, to earth observation, to the ISS.

            They’re also spreading rare earth metal everywhere when the satellites burn up and wasting a lot of energy to get them up there when we’re facing an energy crisis.

            Just one? I’ll do you a few better…

            • The Falcon 9 rocket put a hole in the ionosphere

            • Falcon 9 makes use of kerosene, which puts black soot into the atmosphere (if they used solely liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen the only thing left would be water vapour)

            • Serious damage at a Texas base (caused craters and debris to scatter around remote cameras)

            • An explosion on the launch pad during a test caused damage

            • Boca Chica…

              • Massive amounts of dust, which contain toxic shit

              • Destroyed the launchpad (scattering large chunks of concrete into delicate marine and coastal sanctuaries nearby)

            Edit: fixed up formatting

        Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead…

        The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.

          For fucks sake.

          I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that’s the first place you went. What the fuck?

            Yeah, but there’s also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don’t explode…

            But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug

            So by your own metrics you just said…

            NASA is better than SpaceX.

            No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.
