Everyone needs to remember Boeing got almost TWICE as much as SpaceX did for a crewed launch vehicle and Boeing’s test was a total disaster. He does say weird things and pisses off the left and right, but overall he produces like few can.
i don’t disagree with your comments, only that he needs to pay attention to what the Chinese truly intend. They will pay his price to have the spacex technology, and it is a national secret, equivalent to the Hydrogen bomb technology the Russians stole in the 1940’s.
