SpaceX is still making tremendous progress compared to NASA. I’m as annoyed with Musk as everyone else, but it’s looking like they’re the biggest hope we have right now of actually making progress with space exploration.
But are they really making progress? NASA has pured billions into SpaceX, are they really getting what they were promised? AFAIK the answer to that is No-No-No and No, because they are so far behind, and haven’t met any requirements for what SpaceX was supposed to do for the NASA manned moon mission Artemis.
This is focused more on NASA’s problems with the Artemis program, but I highly recommend reading this article.
Basically the whole Artemis mission plan is riddled with issues, and SpaceX and Blue Origin are required to have major breakthroughs in space refueling tech for their required roles to even be possible. With how many different issues the project has, it looks like the only good thing we may get out of the project is these breakthroughs (if they happen).
SpaceX launched the biggest rocket every to be launched in history, three times at this point, and you’re questioning whether they’re “making progress?”
As I said, you’ve prioritized hating Elon Musk over everything else.
But hating people is more important than accomplishing stuff, isn’t it?
Elon Musk promised manned missions to Mars by now, and the beginning of building a base should have started already 2 years ago.
There are many good reasons to hate Musk, he is a liar and a con man.

It’s yes yes yes yes. You couldn’t he more wrong.
