SpaceX accomplished a truly remarkable feat this morning as it caught a hovering rocket. It’s technically very impressive.
However. These feats aren’t as exciting anymore, not even because of how appalling Elon Musk is, fully embracing his fascist roots, but also because of the land theft, toxic dumping, corruption, their ruining the night sky, and all the labor abuses that went into it.
SpaceX is just not fun, if you bother to account for everything they cost. We need to count the cost.
