I'd prefer non profit space exploration via the government. Energetic cars are great but musk and Tesla are not.

If Musk wanted to help he'd write a huge blank check to fund the rescue. Blank cheques are useless if you don't know how to fix the problem, you can't buy your way out of a cave, the divers aren't doing it for money, are highly skilled, motivated, the equipment is fine and funding isn't the issue. Sending people from the Boring Company is the best move as they can study the problem without interfering with the rescue effort.

Sagebrush posted:yeah something like 80% of spacex's funding comes from nasa fyi Dude, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Orbital_Transportation_Services quote:ASA's Final Report on the Commercial Orbit Transportation Services program considers it an unqualified success and a model for future public-private collaboration. Compared to traditional costs-plus contracts employed by NASA, such as the $12 billion Orion (spacecraft) contract, the unprecedented efficiency of the $800 million COTS investment resulted in "two new U.S. medium-class launch vehicles and two automated cargo spacecraft".[4] NASA is doing it's mission.

oohhboy posted:Dude, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Orbital_Transportation_Services i didn't say that it's a bad thing. it's endlessly hilarious that whenever spacex succeeds (80% nasa money, using technology built on decades of publicly-funded research) the libertarian bellends all show up to jerk themselves off over the power of the free market and private enterprise, while any time there's a delay or explosion they blame red tape or fat cat government workers. spacex is great despite elon musk, not because of him Son of Thunderbeast posted:What if they rig up a Falcon Heavy engine on one side and use it to blow the kids and water out the other end no just put a bunch of engines on top of the mountain and lift it off the boys. duh

Sorry, Musk is a moron and made money through slave labor, getting lucky, and is now just a self masturbatory jackass. And sending money won't hurt. Every opinion counter to this is wrong.

NASA has a mission to spin off it's technology to be commercialised. Libertarian can got gently caress a dildo made of the sweat of their brow. Sagebrush posted:spacex is great despite elon musk, not because of him A fair number of his other enterprises on the other hand I am not a fan of. His ego is also getting too big so don't worry if you hate him, he is letting out plenty of rope to hang himself.

Sagebrush posted:INT. SPACEX HQ -- SOME TIME AGO To be fair, the work done with landing rockets is based on Mueller's pre-SpaceX work on deep-throttling engines which was adapted for Merlin's core design. Mueller based his engine on a pintile-injector design like that of the Apollo LM Descent Engine, so it was almost from inception very much able to do the kinds of burns needed to return the stage. The unknowns were in plume and engine behavior while flying bell-first at hypersonic speeds, and thats where a lot of the actually groundbreaking work has happened with SpaceX's landings. A lot of the work of doing tail landings existed in public domain due to NASA work in the 90s with DC-X (some of those who worked on it eventually directly went to Blue Origin).

I've driven one, the car owns. SpaceX is self evident. They have a better cor concept for a rocket that does the same mission for cheaper than the Boeing/Lockheed joint (ULA)

I'm having delightful flashbacks to the glory days of 9-11 trutherism when every physics major and computer programmer on the internet thought that hey could derive structural engineering from first principles in their spare time.
