SpaceX launches are on hold after a booster rocket toppled over in flames while landing. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the company's Falcon 9 rockets and ordered an investigation following Wednesday's accident off the Florida coast.
Pretty sure I wasn’t shitting on anybody but Elon. The workers at Spacex have done good work, but it’s not some earth shattering change, it’s just a progression of already existing technology. They didn’t invent self-landing rockets, and at this point people can make self-landing R/C rockets with off-the-shelf hardware.
Coming up with a new thing vs refining a thing that already exists seems to be extremely distinct and easy to understand. Coming up with a completely new thing - landing a rocket on its tail - was done in the 90s. Refining that idea that was already come up with and then demonstrated as possible is just taking somebody else’s idea and perfecting it.
I think it’s very distinct and not persnickety at all.
This is characteristic of every single thing Elon is involved with. He does not invent ideas, he takes other people’s ideas and then dumps truckloads of money into them while treating the people he pays like dogshit and pretending to be clever.
Don’t shit on talented workers because they have to work for an asshole.

Literally all technology is a progression of already existing technology. I feel like you’re being kind of persnickety.
