"...a power outage at #SpaceX’s California facility caused a loss of #GroundControl, meaning that the mission control team was briefly unable to command the #spacecraft."

Single outage brought GROUND CONTROL down?! On the ground where power grids & diesel generators at a nearby home improvement store are! Have they never heard of battery backups and generators?! They have no idea what 3 points-safe₁ means, nor failoverβ‚‚, and have no business trying to send so much as a spatula to #space.

They're gonna get people killed and in so doing also poison the public's view of #SpaceExploration, all because they cannot be bothered to buy an mf-ing generator or something that a f-ing 8th grader could sort out. This recklessness is bad and so typical of the apartheid space douche and his cascading bad ideas. All he does is accumulate money for himself and hurt others.

#Musk is a hazard to all living things, and some non-living things.

Footnotes:

₁ three points-safe - at least three independent components or safety features must fail simultaneously for major disaster happen.

β‚‚ failover - NIST defines as the process of automatically switching to a backup system when the primary system fails. The goal of failover is to minimize or eliminate the impact on users and keep critical systems running.
