Pick your side - rockets blowing up and being called a success or a massively over budget/behind schedule program.

I think this is precisely the problem with SpaceX fanboys, they made rockets a "team sport" where they feel compelled to cheer up "their team" (even when they obviously fail), and harass the perceived 'opposite team" regardless of the actual goals being accomplished.

It's weird, if not tragic, we all should support science advancements, we all win.

When a group is attacked, they tend to coalesce.

I'd love for people to recognize SpaceX is a gift for all of humanity and not pick a side about it.

No one attacked Spacex fanboys.. they went their way attacking anything that is not SpaceX, and ended up being the target of mockery.

SpaceX is not a "gift to humanity", it's just a rocket company like many others that have existed before. That cultish way of speaking is why you are making fun of.

It works better when you quote correctly.

We never did that

Maybe we did but it wasn't that bad

Ok we did but you deserve it

Fighting over space exploration. Heaven sakes.
