I'm not going to hate on Space-X just because the owner is a dirt bag. The company is still advancing science and engineering.

Vyrulisse posted... The Cult of Elon are trying to spin this as a success. While I don't get the love Musk seems to get from certain people I'd say today the anti Elon guys are being far more annoying. This post being a prime example because today's launch was always about getting data and the main objective was just to get it lifted up. This isn't some post failure talk either. This was announced ahead of the launch. It's easy to be a naysayer and negative and point out flaws. While I am not a fan of Musk whatsoever this isn't even about him. It's about people who revel in peoples misfortunes and have the "better to not even bother trying" attitude. I'm glad we have people in the world who say fuck it and go ahead and try things because that's how the world progresses. If everyone was like this guy we'd still be living in mud huts lmao. --- Come join us at the Sudoku + Other Pencil Puzzles Community Board. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1572-sudoku-plus-other-pencil-puzzles ...
