Tom mueller is not a suck up lol. He also left to start his own firm while ago. Garrett Reisman, Josh Boehm, Hans Koenigsmann, people like Kevin Watson who are listed on many engineering reports and documents for the firm too have all stated this Can you name one who hasn’t?

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The biographies directly show he had and continues to have a direct role in engineering and operations

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It isn’t actually. I think what you are referring to is the fact he has a top secret level clearance but not some specific compartmentalised clearances So he does have to stay away from some work….for defence contractors….which the majority of employers also have to be “kept away from”

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Neither does SpaceX, that’s a lie that circulated based on literally no evidence and, in fact, public records and documents as well as observable facts disprove it Stope believing slop articles

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I think it’s actually more preferable to not simply take one false statement and make another to replace instead and to actually go “he has been and is an instrumental part in a much larger machine that makes things” He didn’t just buy people to do it. He didn’t single handedly do it himself.

020

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

And multiple people who have worked under him and beside him have said the opposite lol. Arguably people with more street cred and actual basis for their opinion to mean something

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

SpaceX was literally incorporated by him. Like he was the only person there at one point lol. It’s also arguably the single most successful Tesla he joined well before they made their first car, was the reason they survived and got sued over being called a founder and WON because he objectively is.

this whole “i’m gonna stay blind to where technology is going because i don’t like him” is insanely dangerous and it’s baffling to watch so many people fall for the trap

The only goals they haven’t achieved are fringe. Like red dragon that was cancelled to refocus efforts on more important things or dear moon that got canned by the guy buying it because he went broke Overall tho, they’ve been pretty damn good at meeting goals chief

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

They set the goal of becoming only the 4 entities to recover a spacecraft from orbit. They did that They fly crew to orbit, fly cheaper rides to orbit than anyone has in history, have become the only entity to recover a second stage and the first to refly boosters (a lot of them), etc

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

They set the goal of becoming the first private entity to fly a liquid rocket to orbit. They did that They set the goal of becoming one of only a handful of entities to fly cargo to the ISS. They did that

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Spaceflight is hard. Estimating how hard it will be is even harder because harder problems that appear slow everything to a crawl at times But if you mean actual goals

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Can you actually name a goal they just didn’t achieve? Like if you mean goals as in dates or timelines sure, they’ve slipped a lot on some…but by that metric every single Spaceflight entity is lying (especially NASA)

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Sure, space flight is nothing new obviously but there are many different ways to get there and a vast gulf between vehicles. Reductive criticism is just denial my guy

020

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The goals of a rocket…. I’m sorry but this is just a dumb take. It’s like saying a fusion power plant is nothing ambitious because fire boiled water thousands of years ago

120

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

A. No, they’re haven’t. No one has ever made a fully reusable, super heavy lift, high cadence launch vehicle. No one has even come close. B. They have literally exceeded every goal they’ve set on matured vehicles lol. They’re also actively meeting goals for their next gen vehicles in development

020

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

And no, they’re not failing to achieve their stated goals. Falcon 9 has far exceeded them, starship is well on track to meeting them

010

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

SpaceX literally operates the most reliable rocket model ever developed chief. By a WIDE margin. The only ones they blow up are test articles aiming for the single most ambitious and difficult goal of a rocket in history. Arguably one of the hardest engineering challenges

120

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

You can hate the guy’s opinions without deliberately trying to deny reality. And the reality is that he isn’t an idiot when it comes to running companies and solving engineering problems and didn’t simply buy his way into it

010

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

SpaceX was literally incorporated by musk, Tesla wasn’t brought he was given the role of CEO before they sold their first car even and multiple engineers have openly stated his role in design and development Most notably….

110

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No actually it’s labels put on by random strangers lol It’s not some built in thing and for the record, I’m a Spaceflight fan You’re the one obsessed with that guy not me. Hell you guys won’t shut up about him, maybe get a life or a hobby or a gf and stop crushing on him

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The core isn’t reused my guy Also starship booster that have been reflown not only have a patina that would be impossible to fake but also has literally been seen constantly from their first flight to the next

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Buddy they ain’t told us shit Hate to break to you, but you ain’t the smartest person in the room. People can work a shocking amount out from reflections in glasses lol. Let alone 24/7 stalking of production facilities Also, whoever you heard that last part from is chatting shite

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The difference between them is just the bell size which means the vacuum engines are more efficient to run but overall for such a short burn the difference is negligible

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

A single sea level only needs about 20 seconds of burn and provides solid authority during it

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Good question, it’s because they gimbal The vacuum engines don’t so using one of them means that the spacecraft would either be uncontrollably during the burn or using all 3 would mean they would burn way too fast to make a controlled injection

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The S-IVB did a max of 2 orbits over its lifespan. Most of the missions didn’t exceed 4hrs of total mission life for the upper stage too The longest mission for a cryo stage was 8 hours

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It’s between 15-20 atm from what is known. Basically just the upper stage marginal costs

101

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That’s price not cost. And they fly a lot of missions for far lower than that Transporter and some NASA missions being an example. They’re high now both because they can’t really lower them without competitors suing and to maximise revenue to fund development

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Early block 1 sats were deorbited because they were surpassed by block 2 sats yes and because they reached the end of their operational life which legally requires disposal

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

What I mean is that launching excessive missions means higher costs and less profit my guy. They LOSE money if they fly to simply maximise cadence

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Literally not one part of what I said was trolling Grow the fuck up

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Maybe if you guys would just stop your weird obsession with that man (who doesn’t even manage Starlink btw) you’d see clearer than the warped sense of reality you currently hold

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It’s actually insane how you seem to think spacex is somehow the biggest issue for debris when they’re actually one of the best at mitigating it. Meanwhile china just throws full stages to explode on orbit and no one bat an eye

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Cool story buddy You do also realise a Kessler cascade can’t persist at the altitude the constellation operates in right? And even if every sat in that orbit hit annihilated debris would only persist for a few years at most too

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Not the case. Spacex is gonna lose money if they send sats up unnecessarily lmao Not sure how you can think it’s only to make cadence higher

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

For continuous coverage 220 ain’t even remotely gonna cut it. You’d need 390 for zero overlap coverage and for continuous coverage which requires overlap you still need at least 1000 200 would only cover half the planet at a time. At 1000 capacity is also HEAVILY restricted even with the larger bus

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

As a note btw too, don’t try and engage and give slop takes on this stuff out of bias for one guy. It will just make you look stupid Especially when you just make claims with no backing

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also, space collision risk really isn’t about speed. Yes, they’re fast But satellites follow predictable paths and incursions or potential collisions can be found and mitigated days in advances from tracking data Vast majority of these are fully automated too.

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They manoeuvre if a risk of collision is within 3/10 million or 0.00003% (for context, the ISS only manoeuvres if it’s 1/10,000 or 0.01%), makes their ephemerides public to everyone and uses the startrackers on sats to track any debris they spot which they also make public to everyone…for free

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SpaceX literally has some of the most capable collision avoidance practices in the world lol

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Bit of a non sequitur. Entry has very little impact on the doors if you simply design them even decently The main issue is mass fraction for them not technical feasibility

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Stringers and proper design can mitigate this chief. It’s really not a dealbreaker or something actually hard compared to everything else the vehicle has overcome

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also you literally just saw this thing prove itself. Maybe think carefully about how poorly the claims against falcon aged and how similar starship is to beating expectations of those who doubt it

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Lost a *single* engine. Also not a single leak lol Resonance has literally been an issue once too. It was immediately rectified so straight yap here my guy

110

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Starship has literally performed its full mission criteria on multiple occasions including this flight

000

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

There’s this handy thing called altitude These aren’t cars driving on a road. They can map incursions well before they happen and simply raise or lower to avoid them

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Btw the full mission duration would have been the longest mission for a cryogenic upper stage in history so it’s hardly an unambitious target

100

BSF 🐀🇬🇧 @bsf42069.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Not significantly. Performance on 5 engines is still more than sufficient The main issue is whether that issue was a symptom of something wider and out of an abundance of caution they chose to return early
