I do not fault Mr. Musk for the ambition. I do think he is doing most of it right, at least from a tech standpoint.

But in getting to space — EVERYTHING must go perfectly.

Every time.

And the main good news is that no human lives were aboard that capsule.

But expect delays now — certainly in his rumored IPO for the venture, and likely even in the Moon to Mars initiatives.

As I’ve said repeatedly, contra to his “techie-ethos” we simply cannot afford to lose human lives in space, due to “going too fast, and breaking things”.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now, almost trivially, he has again broken the feeds of the NASA remote code — out of his X-itter social media site. Those are his partners in space — the ones who drive his engagement for any future IPO dream at SpaceX. Hilarious.

And, whilst speaking of the Xitter site, he is facing advertising walk-aways — from Apple, IBM and Microsoft, among others… due to his odious views.

He really lacks even a scintilla of emotional intelligence.

Out.
