In Which Hinderaker… Insults NASA’s Science Teams. Sheesh.

Hinderaker simps for Musk.

Y A W N.

In the process, he badly mis-states the last 20 years of NASA’s amazing missions. [Spoiler alert: and no surprise — Elon Musk supports Tangerine.]

He makes the preposterous claim that Musk is the only thing “going right” in the US space program.

It goes without saying that John’s opinion is woefully misinformed, and probably even malignantly so.

[Musk has had some success — but his Mars transport rocket is almost just a pipe dream — and a decade late.]

I guess John missed the helicopter missions on Mars, which had exactly zero to do with Elon.

He also forgets the JWST — discovering exoplanets, by the tens of thousands.

In sum, Hinderaker’s NASA knowledge seems to have ended — at about 1998.

What an outdated, irrelevant codger he’s become.

Out.
