Does the Elon hate come from Space X being a tough job or the amount of money he's worth?

he makes a profit off his workers. so someone is working for elon and making $15 an hour, in california, and struggling to get by. and elon is pocketing some of what that worker is producing. it's incredibly selfish and perverse to decide to pile a few more dollars onto his billions at the expense of poor people working for him.

and he is considered a hero

I doubt anyone working at SpaceX is poor and I don't see any evidence that Elon cares about money besides its utility. He's not hoarding it like a dragon.

SpaceX is the near the top for most desired company for graduating college engineers. Just getting an interview there is tough.

Filthy is just trolling out of his ass.

Awesome video. I bet that was amazing to see. Did you plan it or happen to look up at the right time?

lolol. Doge coin baby!

SpaceX to Launch DOGE-1 to the Moon!

Quote:

CALGARY, AB, May 9, 2021 /CNW/ - Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) announced today the DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon—the first-ever commercial lunar payload in history paid entirely with DOGE—will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Geometric Energy Corporation's DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon will involve Geometric Space Corporation (GSC) mission management collaborating with SpaceX to launch a 40kg cubesat as a rideshare on a Falcon 9 lunar payload mission in Q1 2022. The payload will obtain lunar-spatial intelligence from sensors and cameras on-board with integrated communications and computational systems.

Filthy, buy some doge coin on the dip!

I had no idea what it was at time. I was still half asleep, just before 6am, walking out the door to work. It was the very first thing I saw after stepping outside. I checked Twitter later on and confirmed the timing of SpaceX launch.

I was curious why it seemed so low..saw one explanation that it was launched into “Lower Orbit”, which made some sense.

he also forced his tesla factories to stay open during the pandemic against govt orders. so his workers had to go to work and risk covid. hundreds(thousands?) of them got covid, but iirc not much more than avg per capita for ca

and he might have had something to do with usa backed coup overthrowing the democratically elected govt of bolivia to get lithium for tesla

It's not low, just far away. The first and 2nd stage separate at around 90 km/56 miles in altitude. Final starlink release altitude is about 220 km and traveling at 27,000 km/h.

A month ago, there was a dude who snuck on the SpaceX Starbase, TX launch site and began youtubing under the Starship on it's pad. The video was making its rounds on reddit.

Well, look what popped up today:

SpaceX just tweeted the video of SN15's flight:

Also today, SpaceX submitted an FCC application for orbital flight. The plan involves launching the Starship on the Superheavy Booster, have the booster soft land in the Gulf of Mexico and then have the Starship soft land in the ocean 60 miles offshore of Kauai.

Estimated date for the attempt is July (!!!). I assume neither ship will be recovered.
