πŸ“† October 18, 2023 Steve Jurvetson, an early investor in #SpaceX and #Planet, claimed that many #investors* in #startups working on small #LaunchVehicles were unaware of the scope of competition, many thinking there were no more than 10 other companies in the field. https://spacenews.com/small-launch-companies-struggle-to-complete-with-spacex-rideshare-missions/

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.

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.

"Political and #aerospace interests were more than reluctant to embrace any changes which they viewed as a threat to their own hegemony."
The mainstream media doesn’t cover #SpaceExploration and #SpaceScience with the same questioning πŸ” rigor that they reserve for #politics. People writing about space exploration are mostly cheerleaders πŸ₯³ for the cause, rather than independent observers keeping a watchful eye on how our national monies πŸ’° are spent. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2022/06/23/new-book-paints-bleak-picture-of-nasas-human-spaceflight-program/
