SpaceX has launched its biggest, most powerful Starship yet. The rocket blasted off from the southern tip of Texas on Friday, carrying 20 mock Starlink satellites on a test flight extending halfway around the world.
SpaceX conducted another successful Starship launch test yesterday evening.
That doesn’t change the point that the people who designed, built and operated the spacecraft in question here are the ones who own the accomplishment, regardless of ownership or funding.
And, it shouldn’t need to be said, Elon Musk has exactly zero to do with this other than paying.
This is a conversation between engineers and physics.
Elon Musk is not paying, the US taxpayer is paying.

Exactly zero except he’s the owner and supporting spaceX directly contributes to his bank account.
No thanks
Supporting SpaceX financially contributes to his bank account, posting on social media does nothing.
The engineers that did this are great, I don’t care about Elon Musk… I’ll choose a different space company to launch my satellites.
That ignored my comment entirely. But even if you don’t pay him through satellites, hyping this failure still contributes to his bank account.
I hope the world can survive the $0.38 worth of advertising that my comment adds to his trillion dollar bank account.
Paying? Like Musk is paying for anything lol.
Taxpayers have paid for this.
He is just a punchable face.
