SpaceX is garbage

Look. Musk is NOT a genius. As a person intimately involved in his Gigafactory debacle:

1) his factory is STILL at 25% capacity. Panasonic rightly took over most of the slack making bank of Musks flaccid manhood.

2) lithium ion tech was ALWAYS a dead-end. It's still a dead end for the same reasons now...there's not enough of it and the Chinese own most of it.

3) Capital structure locks TESLA into a death spiral as technology moves away from Li-ion and other car companies move into hybrid solutions for EV vehicles.

Why does this matter for SpaceX?

1) Dragon capsule is a spruced up Apollo/Soyuz design. Nothing new. Actually it adds a significant problem glass cockpit.

2) SpaceX dV = 1/4th what is needed to get to moon. 

3) SpaceX has NOT moved the cost of orbit per lbs (or more accurately dV(m/s) per kg), one cent.

Not one F-ING cent.

4) SpaceX became so "big" because China took 75% of the orbital launch business in-house. Small fish in a shrinking pond.

5) SpaceX just got its teeth kicked in by Northrup Grumman which just changed space commerce forever with Mission Extension Pods that can repair spacecraft at even Geostationary orbits.

Nobody wants to launch new satellites. They just have to.

Well not anymore. Thanks to Northrup Grumman. Which actually went to the moon by the way. Unlike SpaceX ever will.

So what the HELL is the US giving 1% of the total funds needed to get to the moon and die there? (Approximately 200billion US dollars in FY2021 dollars to build enough dV to get to the moon and not get back).

Why is the US government wasting US tax payer money on a f-k'ing fraud who has achieved nothing new and CANNOT complete the mission?

Corruption at the highest order.

Giving billionaires billions for nothing remarkable. 

The Space Shuttle was remarkable.

Musk is going backwards and begging for a methane rocket so he can cut costs because he can't handle Hydrogen.

But Methane can't handle dV to the moon.

Let alone Mars.

What a charlatan and a waste of US money.
