    Is this the one that just exploded overnight, again? Says it was the “starship”. Looks like Biden was right to delay the astronauts return due to safety concerns. Musk has made it clear he is willing to gamble with other people’s lives, in both Space X and self driving cars

    Twitter value imploded. Tesla value is imploding. Space X rockets are exploding. DOGE is a laughingstock of inaccuracies or lies.

    The Starship system is still in development this is part of what happens.

    Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy are doing the work right now.
    They have an excellent track record.
    Also they do it way cheaper than when we were paying Russia to ferry supplies and astronauts to space.

    This is all true, and the SpaceX work is being done by Gywnne Shotwell.

    The vehicle they use to go up to the ISS is not the same as the starship

    The Biden administration was an abomination.

    NASA insider JEFF NOSANOV blows the whistle on the space agency's plot to sabotage Elon Musk's rescue mission... at the cost of our stranded astronauts | Daily Mail Online

    It was stunning to hear NASA’s Wilmore – a former Navy test pilot with three spaceflights under his belt – on Tuesday seemingly confirming SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s claim that the astronauts could have already been rescued had the mission not been blocked by Joe Biden’s White House.

    'We offered to bring them back early, but the offer was rejected by the Biden administration,’ Musk said Monday on Joe Rogan's podcast.

    The following day, Wilmore appeared to support Musk when asked about the claim, 'I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual.'

    Wilmore’s teenage daughter, Daryn, was even more emphatic in a recently resurfaced social media post from February: 'There's a lot of politics, there's a lot of things that I'm not at liberty to say... but there's been issues. There's been negligence. And that's the reason why this has just kept getting delayed.'
