Would unequivocally be the best thing he's ever done

And of course, it comes at the cost of 4 people

Edit:

With the Dragon Capsule alone, the decision to remove virtually any form of manual control and to have all of your inputs be done via touchscreen is just…not smart. At all.

Anyone who has ever had to work with touchscreen tech constantly could tell you this

For comparison, the LES and ACES [astronaut] suits all include some form of limited life support in the event that your mode of transportation has a critical failure while also being pressure suits or at the very least partial-pressure suits and carry multiple survival aspects such as parachutes, inflatable life rafts, and other tools to help an astronaut survive and be recovered from emergency landing sites that will usually be in the wilderness. The SpaceX suits, well, we don’t KNOW what’s in the suit because Musky boy won’t tell us. It’s privatized, what do you expect, they care more about keeping their tech to themselves than safety or transparency. It’s claimed to survive a “vacuum chamber” just fine but no actual test results have been shown.

Red tape regulations for things like 'safety' just slows the Musk down; he doesn't keep factories safe, he don't give a fuck about astronauts

Now lemme say something on this, there is a fucking reason that the old suits are bulky and orange. Why? Because they’re pressure suits with survival equipment and life support built in. They’re not sleek because how the fuck are you gonna fit air bladders, a parachute, survival kits, aid kits, and air systems on a sleek suit? That’s why the old suits were bulky because they worried about the SAFETY of the wearer...Y'know why they’re orange? So we can fucking seem them if they end up stranded in the ocean or wilderness after an emergency landing.

Muh aesthetics

And beyond just this photo we also have Elon insisting that satellite casings and thermal control systems be painted BLACK because it makes them look cooler but here’s the thing, the reason satellites typically have white, beige, or gaudy ass chrome foil covering is because the sun is a hot motherfucker and electronics, and well electronics my friends, don’t like heat. Guess what black does? It absorbs heat

lmao

But because we live in hellworld, this first launch will go fine, and it'll take until like launch 98 or whatever to have something catastrophic happen

:inshallah:

Musk: Watches TV report of space capsule crashing into the Pentagon

Musk: Sighs

Musk: Walks over to wall, presses small gray button

Musk: Wall rises to reveal shrine to Lenin, flanked by Mosin-Nagants

Musk: "... Finally. Finally, it's time to be the real me."
