It amuses me the depth of feeling you fans obviously have for him, whereas I don't notice much hating. I see plenty of technical criticisms from folk like me, who worked on space programs in the past, to us Space X just looks amateur, like kids playing with fireworks. Is it hateful for us to voice that opinion? Is it hateful for us to point out our concerns that Starlink is growing more likely by the day to cause a Kessler event, taking out an awful lot of other satellites, which cost an awful lot more than starlink to put up? Is it hateful for us to even laugh about how insane this is? The bottom line is this: he does not know what he is messing with. He can't, he never had the experience, nor the technical learning in the first place. He's been a little lucky with Tesla cars, but that will not last long after we move to solar hydrogen, as necessary to keep all the aircraft and spacecraft in the air, all the ships in the sea, all the heavy road and rail transportation rolling. This is impossible with batteries. This is what Musk and everyone else thinking they are going to make a tidy profit have to come to accept - profit itself is an energy con. It is the thing directly wired to temperature rise that nobody wants to see or admit, but this is the truth, coming from a long practicing Systems Engineer with energy patents in my history, we can't get around it, it is physics.

Musk can't see any of that, because he does not have the background to see it. I would love to be proven wrong about that, but I think that is even less likely than Musk actually getting to Mars.
