  • And I thought of Musks threat to supply internet to Gaza.

Maybe,

Also, believe it or not and contrary to all the hate mail and articles written about Musk. He can’t do whatever he wants and supply foreign access to equipment technology unless he has approval of our government and complies with applicable laws.

When he interferred with the Ukrainian attack on Russian fleet units at Crimea he certainly did what he wanted. He knows no stae reason, only self interest, and nothing more than that. Everything idealistic he claims is just show. Also, he is irresponsible.



Zero trust in his sense of responsibility, and zero ability for empathy. He has proven often enough that of both he has none.

I don’t pay much attention his personal beliefs. But SpaceX is a civilian commercial business and is not allowed to operate outside our governments laws or its foreign policy decisions just because the mob thinks it’s OK. The U.S. government knows that, Ukraine knows that, Musk knows that, hell, even and I know that.

The U.S. Government has its own secure satellite system in orbit that it uses for military applications.

After shutting Starlink off in eastern Ukraine as troops were advancing on the enemy, SpaceX fenced off coverage, which prevented the Ukrainians from communicating effectively in the heat of battle and most likely cost lives. The action caused U.S. Department of Defense officials to worry about just how much power Elon Musk has over the Pentagon with SpaceX's proprietary technology like Starlink.

Oops! The spacecraft is currently grounded.

No doubt Democrats will be blamed at some point :O:

Losses and failures in developement work have to be expected if you have technical ambitions like Space X, but the heap of crap metal starts to pile up pretty high now. Can one really still reasonably hope in good conscience that they are still learning from these lessons?

Even with several successful test flights coming in the future I would neither board this rocket myself, nor order others to do so. And certainly I would not dare to land on Mars or Moon in a vehicle landing like this one should do. A launch pad is one thing, unknown, uneven and unpredictable geologic surface on a foreign world is something very different. After all this is no Ray Bradbury story. This is reality.

Don't you think the US government will use Space X for there own benefits? to bypass some international laws that forbids governments to gain acces to some things ?


Can a private owned company, do more then a government owned company? Or do they hold under the same laws? Can Space X do more then lets say... NASA?

Can the US for example say ''it wasn't us'' The US government isn't hold accounted for. Its that private company owned by Musk''
But in the meanwhile they benefit from using it.

Maybe it's 2k rupee:D

I'm expecting SpaceX to be held liable for the costs associated with the divergence of commercial aircraft throughout the debris zone.
