            A company can miss targets and still be extremely successful if you look at the body of work. SpaceX absolutely dominates the space launch industry, there’s nobody close.

              Especially space stuff.

              No project in space stuff ever meets targets… Unless they reduce the goals at some point because they know they can’t make it.

              Look at Apollo (and this is no criticism) - they had some seriously lofty goals at first, and then as they learned stuff they changed goals to what was achievable with that new knowledge and developing tech.

              This is the heart of Agile project management - because you learn as you go it’s easier to adjust priorities and targets.

            They’ve launched the Falcon 9 88 times this year dwarfing the nearest launch provider 10 to 1… They’re doing fine.

        Spacex is a massive success, with little thanks to Musk. Those engineers are fucking rock stars.

      Also, the Roadster. Announced six years ago, supposedly launching next year, but we’ll see…

          Hey, Trump spam was fun too while it lasted. It’s just that you need to watch that dumpster fire from a safe distance. Something like 5000 km should be fine.

          I mean I don’t care to be honest. If I see something about Elon, it doesn’t mean I have to look at it.
