Their CEO is a terminally online white nationalist anti-Semite who supports the overthrow of American democracy. I’ll be rooting against them and enjoying their every setback until that changes.
I’m sure SpaceX could land on the moon, there just isn’t an economic incentive to do that. NASA had a ton of failed launches before that happened, as well as several afterward. SpaceX’s record has been phenomenal.
Sure, and they’re making good progress and seem to be on-track. I don’t see any reason to think NASA is “superior” or whatever just because they landed on the moon ages ago, the only reason SpaceX seems to be doing this is because NASA has made it a priority (i.e. an economic incentive).
I don’t think anyone has a better record of landing their rockets.

Forget that the work the company is doing is actually interesting, challenging, and bettering the world. Focus on Elon, just how he wants it.
If I’m not mistaken SpaceX actually has mechanisms in place to prevent Elon from directly meddling too much in the engineering decisions.
They’re the reason SpaceX’s products mostly work as intended, unlike Tesla’s, Xitter’s, or The Boring Company’s.
Elon being distracted with Xitter and politics and whatnot probably also helps.
think nasa does since they actually landed on the moon.
NASA landed a lunar module on the moon, not the rocket stage.
Yeah, I think Katy is a bit confused about what she actually wanted to say :D

…SpaceX is part of the program to get back to the moon.

More specifically SpaceX got a contract to bulls the moon lander for NASA.
So SpaceX is going to land in the moon.
