I thought SpaceX- was a private company, not NASA. I thought the purpose of NASA was Muslim outreach.

Under Obama, America has no space vehicle to get to the Space Station and our Navy sailors are hitching rides where they can.

But we got Homosexual marrying & one step closer to a complete socialized medical system.

As long as no Muslims were hurt, it’s a win.

Well we can take some china made trampolines as Russia suggested and bounce real high. As long as Muslims feel good then it’s a success.

Many Muslims disappointed it didn’t explode in Israel.

It’s the Obama Era.

Incompetents and idiots rule.

The nation that developed the A-Bomb, won WWII, and, using slide rules instead of computers, built rockets that put men on the moon and brought them home now has a government that cannot find its own butt with both hands, a searchlight and a GPS.

I guess Obama didn’t give Elon Musk enough money yet.

For some reason, this article mentions the two other recent resupply failures but fails to mention that neither of them involved SpaceX. One was the Russian Progress mission that failed in April, the other an OSC mission that blew up at launch. Did the Russians’ April failure put us back on top, if only temporarily?
Between the butthurt legacy contractors (Boeing and Lockheed-Martin) who have seen their gravy train derailed by upstarts like SpaceX, and the Kremlin’s massive propaganda operation, it would appear there is a lot of money to be made attacking SpaceX.

One thing, the Russians are still using a 1960’s era space capsule on top of a 1950’s era rocket and it works. Heck the guidance system in the Soyuz is based on the old WWII era Norden Bombsight IIRC.

We now estimate that when they are new, these boosters blowup 14% of the time.

What will the rate of failure be when they are used?

It will be interesting to see what the failure was.

NASA couldn’t put a man on the moon today if it wanted to.
