A spacex ally is appointed chairman and guts a project that would've outshone them. Tired of the blatant corruption happening in this country.
I don't think you're educated on the matter because landing on the moon with the mission plan that they set out requires the lunar gateway to be in place, it is not and likely won't be for a long time. It was going to be impossible to land on the moon by the third mission (unless significantly delayed) no matter who was in charge. Like all ambitious space missions in history, it will be delayed, delayed, and delayed again. Sadly that's how it has always been.
You shouldn't confidently spout incorrect information
"The aerospace safety advisory panel recommended that Nasa rethink its objectives for Artemis III, ........ The panel said that the call for a revision was urgent, “given the demanding mission goals”."
The ~~fucking~~ safety advisory panel suggested the change ~~moron~~ dude, not Isaac. But yes fuck Elon cuck the pos ket head
Edit: removed unnecessarily rude words
Unless I'm grossly mistaken, Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were pretty much on schedule. I don't know about Skylab, if we consider it separate from Apollo. I think things started to become less tight with STS (Shuttle).
You could be right. I have not been alive that long and I must admit I'm not super educated on the exact timelines of many older programs. But in my lifetime, all the exciting programs have been delayed by a lot.
I guess I confidently spouted some incorrect information if you were right.
Ah yes, the humongously successful SLS. Totally not a bottomless moneypit. And absolutely no corruption involved in keeping it alive.
Except SpaceX is part of that mission, or was?
The highly successful Starship is to be the lander. They just need to get one to orbit first.
You got them on a technicality. But multiple test articles have pretty much reached orbit, intentionally just missing orbit so they would renter in a known location should something go wrong, and something has gone wrong most of the time.
I'm excited for the staship program because it's the most exciting spaceflight development in my lifetime, yes fuck Elon but that doesn't change the facts of how exciting the program is for a space lover. The upcoming launches with v3 hardware are going to be very exciting, hopefully most of the kinks have been resolved.
The more pressing issue IMO is that they haven't really shown any of the landing hardware, which will be substantially different than the Starship articles they are using for testing now.
SpaceX is going through the same problem tesla currently has. All the talent that created its good products is either burnt out or already left the company. Their outputs will continue to decline while being in stark contrast to their promises imo.
Their hiring process is also atrocious and scares off any good engineers, and with Elon's cocksucking arch, those disillusioned enough to tough out working there are very few these days.
I totally get your point, but I don't think SpaceX has any engineer problems. They've had a lot of issues with their test articles, but as far as it seems, that's sort of by design using the move fast and break things philosophy, which obviously isn't good in some ways. But it worked for the Falcon 9 landings, and it's going to work for starship, and all the detractors and haters will say nothing in five years when Starship is an extremely successful program.
I think a lot of people fail to see the extreme space fans and engineers who are super into space are willing to suffer through some of these things to work on what is actually the most incredible space program in our lifetime. I wouldn't do it. I'm not an engineer though, and I really do fucking hate Elon Musk. But I say it again. Starship is awesome, and it's going to be extremely successful, despite what you may believe now. SpaceX has a very long history of proving the haters wrong, in fact I can't think of a single example when the haters and people saying "its impossible" ended up being right long term
