Not at all. You asked to show where the space industry has been revolutionised. You got your answer. It categorically has. Then because you either don’t understand, or don’t like the man that did it (Elon), you want to ignore it. Those of us that understand engineering HAVE been admiring the progress.

He was joking but he’s actually making a fair point. It’s not just a minor science/tech debate, it’s a clear flaw in your thinking. Concorde was an incredible achievement which pushed the boundaries of technology forward. But ultimately it’s a failed experiment that is commercially unviable. SpaceX has fundamentally altered the economics of space travel forever, and has led to a new paradigm in space travel, materials science and rocketry. One is an icon, the other has transformed space from a rare state-monopolised capability into a brand new industrial sector.

So you’ll only accept revolutionary improvements in technology if they fall into a particular observational window of your choosing and ignore any you don’t deem as important? Makes sense 😂 This explains quite a lot actually

If you understood what exponential growth looked like, then you’d understand why an 80-90% drop in mass capacity is absolutely revolutionary. (Especially after decades of stagnation in the field). Do you think that designing new rocket engines & space craft is simple?

This is what makes me laugh. You guys throw insults at me and call me thick etc when you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about 😂 SpaceX has fundamentally altered the paradigm of the space industry. Before their arrival, launching payloads into orbit was characterised by expendable, multi-billion-dollar government contractors and stagnant innovation. Today, space flight has been revolutionised by rapid reusability, high launch cadence, and commercial scale. They’ve reduced the cost of delivering mass to orbit by 80-90%. But you guys have such high time preference that you struggle to grasp how important their work has been.

Youre a cretin and you should ask for a refund on your degree

I can end this argument up nicely with one example. NASA vs SpaceX NASA is a rotting, bloated, corrupt, wasting corpse of an organisation that achieves fuck all. SpaceX has revolutionised space travel in a handful of years.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about The punishment for failure in most public organisations is promotion

Jim Ratcliffe grew up in a council house. He created a business which has paid the salaries of thousands of staff and millions in tax. He has done more for this country than you are ever likely to. I understand why, as a lefty, you seek to demonise “the Right”. But this is reductive shite. Just because you don’t fully understand economics or why capitalism is clearly the best way to organise society, doesn’t mean you should tell people to “fuck off”

Thing is, if one of the early chances had gone in, this could have been so different. Just a really weird game and performance. I don’t think there’s any need to panic. Play this 10 times we probably win it 8 or 9

Yeah, mad game. Easily one of the worst teams we’ve played all season and we’ve somehow lost. Crazy

Omg. Literally can’t believe that.

Yeah it’s weird. We’ve run out of steam compared to the first half. Need to move the ball a lot quicker

Cannot believe we are losing this. Played really well, just can’t finish.
