That's a disposable rocket.

Reusable rockets are SpaceX's claim to fame.

The fuel tank? Oh ok well, if you’re going to nitpick, then musks rockets aren’t reusable either because the second stage isn’t reused. It is left in space or deorbited. Unlike the space shuttle, spacex wastes an entire rocket engine every-time it launches.

SpaceX becomes first to re-fly used rocket

SpaceX launched its first “pre-flown” rocket on Thursday, marking the first time anyone has relaunched a booster into space, in what CEO Elon Musk called “a milestone in the history of space”.

“This is going to be ultimately a huge revolution in spaceflight,” Musk said on a SpaceX broadcast of the launch.

He said that accomplishment – to “fly and re-fly an orbital-class booster” – was like finally achieving reliable aircraft rather than throwing away an airplane after every flight.

“It’s taken us a long time, a lot of difficult steps along the way,” he said, “but I’m just incredibly proud of the spaceflight team.”

The success is a step toward vastly less expensive spaceflight, which some hope can revolutionize travel in the solar system and take humans to Mars. While Nasa for decades used reusable spacecraft – its famous space shuttle fleet – the space agency has found that the intense maintenance the shuttles need makes them more expensive than rockets, at least with current technology.

“No one has ever done anything like this before,” SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell said in a company broadcast before the launch. “We’re not one-way trip to Mars people. We want to make sure that whoever we take can come back.”

Musk is a delusional moron who thinks that underpopulation is an existential threat because unless we make the earth uninhabitable, we'll never colonize other planets.  Listening to Elon's opinions about the direction we should take as a society is...probably not in most folks best interest.

Musk is a self-admitted technocrat. He believes society should be structured as a dictatorship of tech leaders. People are a disposable resource to be exploited in the pursuit of technology.

Lots of people seem to be pro-dictatorship lately. They seem to think it will go well for them.

Most people are idiots and many of them yearn for a powerful father figure to direct them so they won't have to be responsible for their own decisions.

Another thing is musk gives a reason for why he pumps out babies like rabbits and his reasoning is pretty cold. He's a big believer in the world being in danger of bring extremely under populated which may be true but that's his whole reason for having so many kids. Plus I think rich people literally have big families because they can afford it and hope one of their kids does something that'll reflect well on their "legacy". I gotta say with musk though I don't see him as a particularly dumb or evil person. I think he's extremely smart when it comes to renewable energy, rocketry, Evs in particular,  popularizing EVs , advancing self driving technology, advances battery tech etc etc. I think he's made real contributions to extremely important areas of technology and science that he should get credit for,from liberals that hate him because of his political stances. He can both have contributed alot AND do things that we strongly disagree with. The 2 are not mutually exclusive.




I think electronic vehicles are actually worse on the environment, because of toxic waste produced in the manufacturing process, or something like that.

Quote:

I just think he's an idiot when it comes to social media and politics to a large extent. I also think he fell into a true cliche of someone getting rich and then turning super conservative because conservatism is quite literally the best friend of any billionaire.




Musk has Aspergers, so it makes sense that he doesn't do well socially. Also, he was born rich.

Anyway... There are many billionaires that I dislike far more than Musk... He can be kind of obnoxious, but I don't think he's particularly sinister.




The thing with those resources needed to make evs is that virtually everything you do has an impact on the earth but its a reality that natural gas, coal etc are quite literally finite resources that WILL run out. If we continue to improve on evs, specifically battery capabilites alot of that impact will lessen overtime and we won't be in a position as humanity goes where there's literally no alternative. Also to say it's worse then gigantic oil spills for example or greenhouse gases for fossil fuels is really not a good argument imo.


I think you're right about his social skills though that's where I really do think he's an idiot :lol:

I'll take lithium batteries that last twenty + years over gas. Even if electric vehicles are straight banned, that's not gonna stop lithium mining. I see a lot of right wing contractors who scream about the lithium mines damage to the environment meanwhile all their tools run on the same type of battery.
