Elon Musk embarrasses US, Russian, and Chinese space agencies by launching the most powerful rocket

[gambit]

All he did was hire NASA employees.

Is that a bad thing ?

If you have a choice of hiring someone with experience vs someone without, who would you hire ?

If you chose to hire the guy with experience, why should you care where he got his experience ? From what we can gather from public information, India's nuclear weapons program were heavily Soviet/Russia sources. So can we downplay India's efforts just because India hired mercenary engineers and scientists ?

Outstanding.

The point im trying to impress is that this isn’t a miracle of the free market over the government. Government did most of the hardwork and respect should be given where it’s due.

Ich hab ich wohl klare genug ausgedrückt! Verstanden?!

Are you living in Germany? And did you crook German grammar intentionally in this post?

Power of capitalism.

Congrats to Elon Musk. He is already person of the year.

On the other hand, NASA should just give him a praise. He deserves it, he show the world that private businees is future of the world.

If you can have the right to print the world's money and have the largest casino wall street on earth. Anything can happen. Which real commercial company can afford to burn billions and fail many times and sustain a loss making company for years? Only wall street and US$ can do it, they force the world to accept their currency, so they can just burn the world's resources as they like, if it fails 10 times, so be it, if we need resources, just print dollars. It's a pretty simple equation actually. The US military is there to force all nations to subdue to the US$ and force others to subsidize US risk taking endevours.

He is not a genius, he did not design a single bolt there, he just had an 'imagination' like my 2 year old son and a marketable persona to get funding from the US government and wallstreet, and just kept buring cash for many years, then wallah, something happened.

According to this article PetroChina has been doing just that..

Chinese oil company that lost $800 billion in shareholder value is still going

 

[Jlaw]

give credit where it is due,
and we do have private sectors that are working on space project, there are boosters touch down testing (carried out by a private company) videos you can find on net

He's right. The rocket r&d was funded by government aka tax dollars. Private sectors without government funding will not have the success.

Share value is not dependent on the company my friend, it is dependent on the people buying the stocks, speculating it . Btw, what has it got to do with walstreet funding risky ventures? PetroChina is a SOE selling oil...it's a monopoly bhai. Get it?

Sounds like awful jealousy here...

Elon Musk did something everyone inside China's space program wish they could but did not because they ain't gots the brains or the courage.

On the Heavy Falcon's FIRST test flight, two out of three boosters successfully landed. And his car will troll the solar system for the next few decades. So until the warp drive comes along, Elon Musk will be humanity's greatest troll yet.

If he wants to, he can get pussy ANYWHERE he travels and not have to work or pay for it.

The more you Chinese mock him, the more fool you appears to be.

Jealous of what? A con man who love to burn investor's money and bribe NASA and don't get caught yet? No wonder you get a con artist as your president, fit your culture right.

Were Musk's any business misadventure turn profit?If he were a Chinese, there would have been several anti-corruption and fraud investigation undergoing right now and if he been lucky, he would have already fled to the wild west US with all the money he conned.

I still don't find the point of reuse rocket, if anything, China's future EM-launched satellites are the real deal to make breaking through to make space travel/space city/space ship realistic, so just stay tunned to the real breakingthrough.
