No they won't. The pursuit of knowledge knows no fear. Only adherence to ignorance does.

Clearly you’ve never read a sci-fi novel. How many things in those novels have come true? A whole damn lot of things.

I wish more money went into stuff like this.

Honestly amazing the stuff they’re doing with a fraction of the money they spend on war.

Look at how much money has gone into SpaceX and the progress they’ve made in the last twenty years. We can bring in exponentially more money into science and research but choose not to because of war, supporting wars and dumb shyt.

It’s funny people have a problem with their tax dollars being “wasted” when some NASA experiments go bad, but have zero complaints when we spend money on needless conflicts, wars and policing.

SpaceX isn’t a shining beacon of scientific progress, but it is a good indicator of what scientists and engineers can do when they have money:

I'd imagine it would be a nightmare to work there as a black man though.

Even some of the white boys on reddit said it's a hostile work environment.

They also aren’t aiming purely for outer orbit space yet either. As noted a lot of their main work has been on autonomous rockets: getting rockets to land and dock automatically without pilots.

There are actually many things SpaceX has accomplished that NASA hasn’t yet.

As mentioned is automation, another thing is reusability: no rocket in NASA’s collection is reusable while SpaceX has reused some of their main rockets 20 times. All that stuff takes time and cuts away from some of the other ventures that NASA has accomplished like outer orbit. I’m taking a guess and saying SpaceX probably thinks those issues are a little easier because they’ve already been done so they’re working on other problems first.

They’ve honestly done a lot in a very small amount of time when you look at it. I hate Elon, however at the end of the day the credit isn’t on that guy but all the great Engineers that have been hired. Those are the true brains. Some of the best in the world.

Also you got to remember, NASA didn’t start off from scratch either, things like Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory was founded in 1936, 20 years before it merged with NASA as was the case with many other organizations, projects and their rocket tech.

They have been aiming for outer orbit, they just can’t achieve it. Spacex was supposed to be landing on the moon first quarter LAST year. To date, starship can’t even make it to outer orbit and it’s completely empty. No life support systems, no payload, no astronauts, nothing. Mind you, this is something that was already accomplished over half a century ago by NASA.



I’m not saying the engineers at spacex aren’t smart, but working under Elon musk entails attempting to make half-baked ideas from a drug addict sociopath into reality. Just look at how an actual engineer who doesn’t have to worry about retaliation from Elon breaks down how terrible the entire starship program is especially compared to NASA and their moon landing platforms.

Y’all know he thinks it’s a spotlight from the a$$hole of the earth. He’s been tagged twice in this thread so far he’s gone to suck flat earth daddy’s dikk for the answer.

Thread isn’t about NASA vs SpaceX. Please stay on topic.

I think there has been observations of jet streams or whatever shooting out the middle of quite a few black holes. Even Sagittarius A. I’m not sure if these ones are getting special attention because they are old

@SPACE IS FAKE you couldn’t knock me out even if you tried. You don’t know how air travel or time zones work. Neg me all you want. What am I going to do without my 5 coli bucks?

Yes technological and medical advancements. Ain't no giant space monster coming out of researching an old black hole. But a Dyson's sphere might.

Yeah I think it's their age and that they're still "belching" (that's how I've heard it described) out energy from so long ago

Can I put your name on it? Might attract the JBO crowd.
