They take "Move fast and break things" as a literal directive. Gotta blow up rockets or else you're not disrupting something something.

Potato Salad posted:show me your video of a Saturn V or Artemis Core blowing up, I guess edit: the first Saturn V test was not really expected to succeed, but the first stage had been extensively tested on the ground (in addition to being very over-engineered) and the 3rd stage had flown numerous times on Saturn 1B. If it had blown up, it wouldn't have changed anything. Prettz fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Mar 15, 2024 |

Basically it always can be traced back to an insanely stupid decision made by musk. Gluing pieces back together, not building flame trenches, using substandard metal, etc. he has pushed it all in an effort to save a buck or shave some time or just because he thinks a lot of these practices are boring. It’s the same as firing half of twitters staff and ripping servers out; he’s gotten really really really unbelievably lucky taking insanely risky gambles and having them pay off. Or there are often times where the consequences of failure don’t matter (twitter users apparently don’t care about random downtime). But with spaceflight, the microdetails matter. You can’t just pull parts out to see if it still works. He’s jettisoned hardwon learnings from decades and just keeps making unforced errors

Prettz posted:Judged as an expendable rocket, this 3rd test went perfectly. Starship would now be proven and operational if it was expendable. All the rest of your post was wrong as gently caress as well. it's supposed to be a big rocket that you can use over and over again to navigate the great cosmos. the biggest ever, in fact. that's why he named it "starship".

MunchE posted:Nah, Tesla is a lovely automaker for a lot of reasons. Their cars are incredibly expensive to service/repair which is a double whammy because they're built extremely poorly. They passed off cheapness and cost cutting as "minimalism" and their QA is absolute garbage. Lots of them work Just Fine because the vast majority of all new vehicles work Just Fine, but Teslas have a very high amount of catastrophic failures that you don't see even from lovely automakers. They change the way the product is built mid model year which means trying to service the things is even harder because randomly they'll just Change poo poo. Whatever clever engineers used to be there in the early days are long loving gone. If you want Tesla run by adults, buy a Lucid which was made by the Model S program lead and is actually a nice car. You're describing most EVs though. None of the new manufacturers are making easy to repair vehicles. Hell, denting your rear quarter panel on a Rivian is a $19k repair. You can argue Tesla should have a better service infrastructure by now and you'd be right, but that was never going to happen because they deliberately avoided the dealership model. Which saved Tesla money, but cost them a dealership repair network. All automakers suck rear end. Ford will sacrifice your family to save a penny just as fast as Tesla will. The only difference is none of know who the Ford CEO is without googling it.

But it's not an expendable rocket, also it didn't reach orbit, so, yeah, in the sense that it accomplished none of the things it was designed to do, you could call it a perfectly proven and operational if your goal was to just burn methane in space and then fall to earth and burn up, it was quite a success.
