The fact that Jeff Bezos was willing to ride his rocket past the Kármán line, but Elon Musk hasn't ridden his own rocket yet really speaks volumes about how much each billionaire trusts their product. (kbin.social)

And that is 100% not the work of Elon but the real engineers at the company. He has no fucking idea how his own rockets work.

He can't even figure out how Twitter works, thank god he isn't doing engineering on those rockets. (Though he absolutely would try if he had the chance, make no mistake. He doesn't because he's not a licensed aerospace engineer and he can't get away with pretending to be one in an industry so heavily regulated.)
