    I think Elon is a giant cunt and deserves the public backlash he’s getting.

    But this is a stupid ass thing to focus on, and a blatant attempt to cash in on bad Musk news.

        This was obviously a mistake that cost them time and money, seeing as how their entire launch site was destroyed. Could they have been smarter? Perhaps. But given how many companies are actively malicious, I’m not too concerned at one that made an honest mistake.

          Decades of rocket building says you need energy absorption systems and serious ones. Probably enough papers published on this topic to cover walls of my apartment.

          honest mistake

            The article mentions deliberate decisions that caused more harm. But it was an “honest mistake” says the comments, so that’s ok.

              How is it honest when they were informed by e Employees about the need to dampen the blast? It seems willful and reckless.

            I’d imagine it’s more like every apartment in the building.

      Well, the environmental review after his most recent failure started immediately. Chunks of concrete landing in the ocean. Mashable? Sure, they’re incentivized to time this article perfectly.
