It wasn’t sympathy for the passengers that made the story interesting to me. It was the absolute shamelessness with which that CEO disregarded safety, fired people who tried to make it safe, cut corners, lied to reporters about “partnering with Boeing” (they debunked it today), and on and on.
The guy was a huge piece of shit, and I hope that his company gets sued into oblivion so that some sort of precedent is set for other companies that try to use international waters for their malfeasance.

In unrelated news, Elon Musk looking for anyone wanting to go to Mars.
I mentally separate SpaceX from the pissbaby these days. Because the people working there are actual fucking geniuses. They are paving the way to make access to space more affordable with re-usability. We need that. Elon can fuck off though.
Many beautiful things are fragile, or hold the seeds of their toxicity and decay. Doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy them while they last.
So long as Space-X is doing good(which likely coincides with Musk being otherwise distracted) I’ll be rooting for them to do more. When the bubble breaks, it breaks.

Unwise. Elon is in charge. All of those actual fucking geniuses are there at his pleasure and may be fired at his whim.

Problem: when SpaceX’s “bubble breaks”, people will die.
