I work on rockets and stuff, and love anime. Opinions are my own and do not reflect the views of NASA. 私の日本語に文法的な間違いがたくさんある場合はお詫び申し上げます。

People are way too mad about this circus. I love it. Unlike mass firings, demolishing buildings or culling entire agencies, this has little longterm damage potential. It does however expose to the public how insane, corrupt and out of touch this admin is Let em cook

Have you tried being born rich? Then you just need to bribe people who work on stock market indices to corruptly make your failing business look successful on paper, and become a trillionare.

I don't see all that money lasting. It's really clear he only did an IPO and used corrupt contacts to inflate the price significantly more than it's worth so that his early investors can get bailed out from the failing business. Using people's 401k's and from scamming retail investors

At this point, it would be deserved since Elon and his lackeys like Isaacman and Leuders have severely crippled the Artemis program by giving the lander contract to their scam company and working to unlawfully cancel their competitors (SLS, Orion, Gateway)

Elon is about to ruin everyone's retirement savings through corruption with the stock index companies, all so he can attempt to bail out his failing generative AI and rocket companies. So that will be fun to deal with. Yay unchecked capitalism

There's non-generative AI that's actually useful for data analysis (while also not requiring a monster account of electricity). And that's the nicest thing I can say about AI. Generative AI is useless and will just make things up if you try to use it for data analysis or pretty much anything 🤡

Especially when the quality of the things being produced by that company has dropped significantly in the last decade to the point of being dangerous. Probably because it's run by a fascist who increasingly treats his employees like shit.

Watching the mission coverage overall honestly made me cry a few times. Especially since I worked on it, met at least half the crew before, had my name signed on the rocket with a sharpie, etc and there was just so much humanity built into the mission and so many amazing people who made it happen

Such a reckless and stupid mentality. In reality it has caused them to bleed tens of billions of dollars and have nothing to show for it. To the point they need to use shady political connections to try to halt their competition

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
They won't unless they fix their institutional issues of sycophant managers firing people who speak up about issues, and change their architecture to something that is actually feasible. Instead Elon planted a sycophant into NASA to get his "competition" canceled

They had one blow up several months ago just from a routine and easy ground test of just pressurizing it. It's why it's been such a huge amount of time since the last flight. They don't know they they're doing.

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Starship had significant failures on every single flight. More than two outright blew up. The ones that did not blow up had significant heat shield failures. There's so much more irresponsible stuff under the hood that can't be talked about. But the fact it keeps blowing up and having issues...

I would never work for that evil company. A huge chunk of their work force quits or gets fired from the toxic work environment and from being told to do things that break engineering standards. Also elon planted someone in charge of NASA who owns a lot of spacex stock who is dismantling Artemis

I have worked with them, seen disturbing shit, heard other disturbing shit from coworkers who worked with them, heard disturbing shit from former coworkers. And you're trying to trivialize all of that even though it's very public starship keeps blowing up in very easy to avoid ways which is a marker

"Claim to do" What do you think my profile picture is? You're toxic. I'm disengaging. I've run into many people like you over the years who falsely claim to support NASA while worshipping spacex and saying they need to replace NASA and it's delusional.

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
You're hating all over NASA and claiming Spacex is better and that people with inside knowledge on that subject regarding spacex are wrong. Meanwhile I literally work on the space program and my name was signed with a sharpie on the rocket that sent the crew to the moon. Kindly go fuck yourself.

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
You said spacex is better than NASA and that no one is allowed to criticize their QA issues, workforce injury rate, fact that talented engineers left a long time ago, rookie mistakes, starship failing, etc Meanwhile I helped send people around the moon this week. You're the "internet scientist"

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Uh you did that. This thread is about a super heavy launch vehicle (SLS) and you're saying falcon 9 is more impressive than that. And said cheaply made internet satellites and a primitive space capsule that can't even freefly that long is better than Orion and anything NASA did. Hypocrite

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Which Boeing also has zero to do with Orion other than providing the launch vehicle (which worked flawlessly because NASA had a huge amount of control over design and operations). Go back to Twitter with your bad elon worshipping takes on spaceflight.

Dragon is a toy compared to what Apollo, Space Shuttle, and Orion can do. Significantly less capable. Less safe than Orion too because it has less redundancy if problems happen. You're making some insane and insulting statements about NASA and its ability

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Hah you don't know how bad things are under the hood there because they keep shit under tight NDA And launching a bunch of cheaply and poorly built internet satellites is absolutely not sci fi stuff and not better than NASA sending people around the moon What would I know I just work in industry

Spaceguy5 @spaceguy5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
I had this discussion with someone else earlier today. The only reason Falcon 9 and Dragon mostly work (I say mostly because it has its own issues he hides under NDA) is because experts designed it. Then got fired or quit. Current spacex workforce is not nearly as talented as it was.

Trump is trying to kill Artemis as well and breaking international treaties related to it, all because Elon told him to. Literally the day after this mission launched, Trump said he wants a 23% NASA cut. And changes to Artemis that'd cancel the successful rocket but help Elon. Be concerned.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.
Elon Musk Y @elonmusk
X.com
For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

He also claims that Mars will only need 4-6 launches total. Which is absolutely asinine and not supported by physics. HLS Starship needs 17 launches just to land on the moon... the fact that he publishes this garbage to try to get investors for spacex feels like fraud

It's really cool watching the acting NASA administrator openly admit that the plan is to fire massive amounts of NASA employees, shut down NASA facilities, close entire offices and projects, replace people with AI..... and do all of it without Congressional approval and before Congress can act.

The bots usually follow a pattern. AI generated profile pictures, often the same photo of Trump in their banner (that or another AI picture), a profile description claiming to be a 'disabled vet, father, and Christian' or some shit, and the most insanely fascist takes imaginable.

Perhaps this is a signal that the US needs to go back to the "tired and true" model where the Government owns its vehicles again so as not to be completely dependent on the whims of an ego-maniac with deep pockets hopped up on ketamine. I'm being blunt but after what's happened, the gloves are off.

"Lose" is appropriate because Elon's garbage company lacks the talent to win the space race with China. Giving everything to him is still a loss. But yes, it's very obvious this budget request is designed to cancel contracts from his competitors and give him money for shit he can't deliver
