Elon Musk FAILS AGAIN!!!

Every trumper is a N4T.
Wrong.
There were no musk ups with the vehicle the astronauts were supposed to come home in but didn't.
NASA brought that vehicle back to Earth safely and intact.
The only reason the astronauts did not return in it was due to an abundance of caution on the part of NASA.
Something I wonder if a profit oriented businessman like musk would exercise....

Every trumper is a N4T.
NASA has been launching rockets into space for nearly 70 years.
In that amount of time, any agency is bound to have a musk up here and there.
How long has musk been launching rockets?
NASA was responsible for the deaths of 7 people during a single launch after having 35 years exp launching rockets
How long has musk been launching rockets?
So why are the experts at NASA having Musk help out?
Put NASA back in charge of rockets.
So they can burn astronauts up in their capsule or blow them up on launch or on reentry?
Space Shuttle was an experimental design that should have never been operational.
NASA launches missions all the time, successfully. You never hear of our unmanned Space probes blowing up on launch. The Russians launch manned space missions successfully all the time. Our government is at least as capable as the Russian government.
NASA has killed 5% of their astronauts.
No, so they can do things properly without considering profits. Making more profits would result in the company taking chances to make more money. That should not be a factor in space operations.
Which is the worst. Blowing up an unmanned experimental design or blowing up a manned experimental design. Thanks for making my point.
NASA has killed about 5% of the astronauts that have traveled into space. Space X has killed 0% of them.

So far....
Yep. Eventually more astronauts will die. Space is a dangerous business but so far Musk is ahead in the safety game.
Neither the Russians or NASA has blown up astronauts in decades. In fact, when it comes to standard conventional rocket technology, neither NASA nor the Russians have blown up any astronauts in 50 years, since the early days of rocket technology.
SpaceX is leveraging technology and mechanics that NASA and its contractors spent decades inventing and improving.
Space X just didn't start in a vacuum and start from scratch.
Did Elon actually convince you he just ignored decades of rocket science and engineering NASA developed, and boldly struck out on his own?
You wanted to put NASA in charge of rockets. They were in charge and they killed people as late a 2001. Yes Musk has the benefit of NASA's mistakes and successes. That only enhances his odds of safely transporting astronauts.

Only because of the decades of pioneering and experience he got from NASA.
If it weren't for all the hard work NASA has done over their seven decades history of space exploration, there wouldn't even BE an elon musk or a space x.
NASA had to take risks that Musk doesn't have to take, because they were mandated by congress and President to be at the cutting edge of rocket technology and manned space flight.
They put a man on the moon in eight years
Musk could sit back and study what NASA did.
Taken as a whole, NASA is arguably the most successful government agency in American history, given their mandate and mission goals.
Yet they just can't seem to bring the people back they have to rely on SpaceX a private company
