Anyway, it is what it is at this point and I hope this launch is safe and successful.
Yes, spaceflight is risky. Ask Gene Kranz. You dont spare expense when it comes to lives.
Unfortunately, NASA’s own craft were worse penny-pinched and mismanaged. Remember, if SpaceX screws up intentionally, they can be sued and individuals can be held responsible. NASA screwed up and killed two crews through stupidity and about nobody got fired.
"Grifters" don't deliver the goods....Elon does. And Aerospace has been subsidized since just after the Wright brothers over many, many presidential administrations. Beat another dead horse.
They had an interview earlier today with him and the admin of NASA. They asked Elon how he felt about sending two people up today and he took it very seriously, almost speechless but finally said he told the families “we’ve done everything we could to make sure they come back home to you”. I don’t think he takes it lightly at all.
How many wall streeters would you trust your life to if it was a question of bottom line?

Good Grief! You guys are something else. Musk’s company hires the best people to make the best hardware they can. So did Steve Jobs. So did Gates etc. No one cares who you trust. The people that work at Space X trust each other and that’s what matters.
