Elon is doing a lot more with a lot more. Well, the people working for him are but he is driving it.

Not even close to doing a lot more. No human has traveled past LEO in a SpaceX vehicle. SpaceX will get there, but try not to diminish daddy.

It was a sarcastic post. Hence the “oh wait” at the end.

Did you read the OP? It's about Elon building a pipeline that's 8 miles long.


The article only discussed the pipeline? I know it was in the title but did you read past the title?

I guess if you don't count the Polaris Dawn mission in 2024 you would be right. 870 miles, the farthest any human had been since the Apollo program ended in 1972.

I already was dumbfounded about how people were impressed by how he was replicating our trips into space that we accomplished in the 1960s.


It's not replicating the going up thing that's impressive, it's the coming back part.

The reduction in costs have also been one of the most impressive parts of SpaceX.

Now that they are public there will be a lot of analysis of quarterly results for them to combat.

Elon Musk's increasingly ambitious plan to control nearly every link in the Starship supply chain.

I know that's one of the kinds of monopolies, I think vertical? But it could be great for coordination, efficiency, and by extension cost saving. Go get em, Elon.

Yes, which is what I was alluding to above. Reusing an entire rocket was unheard of before SpaceX.

My sarcasm meter was in the shop. I'll berate my servant for not having the spare running.
