@threelonmusketeers @BedSharkPal People have been denigrating the good work of the SpaceX engineers for a long time, because of EMs words and deeds. Until they and the senior managers speak to him and dissociate the company from his reckless behaviour, the brand is toxic.

@troyunrau @llamacoffee It was cool, but that was it's downfall. Apollo took every bit of technical resource, which might have otherwise gone into a more natural growth of activity in space. (Which is what we're seeing now).
So when someone showed a cool space plane, regardless of the costs, practicality and viability, that pattern of political expediency was already set.
@threelonmusketeers @friek Not a void, just a very small room in comparison where people don't shout as much. +1 for appreciation of the content.
