Yeah. Falcon currently has 316 launches. Shuttle had 135. But please continue to speak on things you don’t know anything about
Falcon has about 1,000,000 times the computing capacity behind their trips as the shuttle missions, but whatever.

Yeah, I've been off X, FB, IG and all of that crap for close to 10 years now. Best thing I ever did.

The other thing that needs to be mentioned is that NASA at this point is little more than a contracting agency doling out billions of dollars to politically connected corporations that suck on the teet of govt.
Fact Check 101% Correct

You do understand that Kranz said that right after NASA had the mother of all failures in orbit, right?
Even worse, Ed Harris said it. Gene Kranz adopted the phrase post Apollo 13 movie.

Real quotes from both Nasa and Elon Musk...
To clarify, I don't think Kranz made that quote. It was written into the Apollo 13 movie script in an attempt to summarize the ethos of the moment. IMO, it did so brilliantly and accurately.
For the non-scientists, please note those two statements were made with respect to two distinctly different phases of their respective life-cycles.
For those interested, SpaceX's engineering approach is more akin to Apollo than what NASA has become today in SLS. Here's a couple of references for your reading pleasure:
1) What Made Apollo a Success?
2) SpaceX System Engineering: A Traditional Discipline in a Non-traditional Organization
Both easily located online. The first compiled in the early 70s. The latter in 2012.

For a "scientist," your posts seem awfully amateurish. How 'bout you display some real scientist humility, grow up, and do your ranks proud.
