I can't figure out if half my feed hates Musk past the point of being able to think clearly, or they're really this anti-space.

Sad, if the latter. Short sighted, too. Moving industry off Earth is a huge win, and that's only one of twenty reasons to go.

@fatsam I admit my dislike of Musk is such that I have a hard time fairly judging anything associated with him. But I'm all for cheap access to space, and I'm glad SpaceX can judge this launch a success even if it went boom. So I hope people can keep in mind that he's a con man who has nothing to do with any of his companies' technical achievements, even while celebrating the achievements themselves.

Unfortunately, if history is any guide, he'll be credited with them decades or centuries hence. And that does gall me.
