Just for fun I applied for a SpaceX job. I wondered how woke I could sound in an interview and still go forward. But in the application they ask for your SAT/ACT scores and GPA! I have literally never seen that for any company ever.

While NASA celebrates, things are not going so well for SpaceX...
#ArtemisII #NASA #SpaceX
One of the most reassuring things I learned from Artemis II is that the public does give a shit about crewed space flight, they just don't care about SpaceX. When NASA does something it feels like a collective accomplishment of humanity. SpaceX? Not so much.
The next administration needs to nationalize SpaceX so we can save NASA a couple billion dollars per Artemis flight.
Now would be an excellent time to take every government contract away from SpaceX and give the money to NASA.
You know, it's incredible accomplishments like today by NASA that really throws into sharp relief that SpaceX managed to blow up yet another booster rocket during a test just a few days ago.
I also encourage you to also mention how Jared Isaacman, a Billionaire who has invested in as well as flown two missions for Spacex, has been aiming to cancel the Orion and SLS programs for nonexistent commercial lunar spacecraft.
This is really end of an era because Artemis II is the last NASA only mission. Next phases are joint missions with SpaceX and Blue Origin and it’s all downhill from here.
Nice to see all the goodwill for #NASA and all the ill will for SpaceX.
I don't want to bash SpaceX, they've done some amazing things. But they stand on the shoulders of giants. It was the American taxpayers that funded all the R&D. And we didn't have to make anybody a billionaire to do it.

Tell me again how human space programs aren't worth the money.
After watching the Artemis II splashdown, my biggest question is, why the heck do we need SpaceX? Elon uses SpaceX to grift taxpayer dollars from US citizens and launch his Starlink satellites. Just nationalize SpaceX and turn it over to NASA.
And they didn't even do it with SpaceX or Blue Origin. This wasn't bullshit space tourism shit with faulty rockets
Fuck SpaceX, Axiom Space, Blue Origin & all the others!
Despite attempts by our government to privatize space flight, selling it to the highest bidder of the Oligarchy - we're still in business!
EAT THE RICH!
NASA, a government agency, got those astronauts to the moon and back home safely. SpaceX, a private contractor, has its rockets blow up upon lift off.
