Yes I know the shuttle no longer exists. Criticizing Starship per se doesn't make sense.
The investigation after the Challenger disaster led to improvements not only in fixing the issues that led to the disaster but also in the risk management effort at NASA (and presumably Morton Thiokol). I am just wondering what the risk management process is at SpaceX (if any) and whether it improves on the past or whether they are starting from scratch or following Tesla's example.
One has to wonder what SpaceX's risk management is like given the recent "rapid unscheduled disassembly" (explosion) and the "failure is success" mindset. Is it better than Morton Thiokol and NASA's after the Challenger O-Ring disaster? Is SpaceX building on best practices learned over decades of aerospace experience? Or is SpaceX's risk management more like Tesla's for their self driving software?
Calling it a gotcha that I "critique Biden policies after voting for him" is what's wrong with US politics today.
Voting for him doesn't mean I can't critique him—it's literally the best reason to be critical. It's called holding electeds accountable. It's how democracy works. And it’s how political parties work when they aren’t cults.
“We can’t keep doing this. This dirty project will be online by 2030—just in time to blow up our climate targets and undercut any argument that this will move the needle for our allies or lower fuel prices. Short-sighted approval with long-lasting damage. https://t.co/sHIWcXxDIp”
It isn't just Elon, it's also the corporate media."Fail, recover, try again" is good in general, especially when you learn from the fail part, not just in aeronautics. Still, calling the fail part "success" is Orwellian.
spacex rocket explosion (rapid unscheduled dissassembly) is a success

Imagine the headlines and news articles if this had been a government (NASA) launch rather than a privatized corporate one

Enough is enough: My colleagues and I are introducing legislation to expel George Santos from the United States Congress.
If Kevin #McCarthy refuses to hold #GeorgeSantos accountable, then we will.
