There is no way a government program would have been allowed to have as many failures as we've seen with Space-X's Spaceship.

I guess you missed the whole NASA space program in the 50's/60's.... Read up on the NASA space progam and you'll see that it also had a lot of accidents, even with deaths, all during designing and testing the hardware, not even counting the deaths during actual 'production' flights.

Comment In the eye of the beholder (Score 1) 77

A good movie is all in the eye of the beholder. Critics mostly don't mean anything, especially rotten tomatoes. Because a movie gets a theatrical release doesn't mean it's better as a direct to VOD (these days). But a budget of $320 million for a 2 hour movie means there is something very wrong with the crew who did it.

âGitHub-posted code in violation of my licensesâ Except Githubs usage terms trump your own license. If you don't agree, you should move away from Github. Terms of service change over the course of years. I understand why she hates the co-pilot addition, but it's their product (now), and nobody forces you to use Github or Visual Code/studio.

If you think we should not help evil people at any time, why would the rest of the world help the US, as they have proven to be just as evil as China, Russia, North korea or Iran. If China gets its own highend chip machines up and running, it will be a hit for companies like ASML (which mainly is a dutch company but being hindered by the US) and then also for US companies like Nvidia, Intel, AMD or Qualcomm. Why would I, as a european, buy a US chip if the chinese produce one which is better and cheaper? Because chinese would have backdoors? For some US products it's been proven to have backdoors, for chinese products only the US claims it has, but never shown any prove.

You do know the heatshield of the shuttles needed to be replaced almost completely every single flight, and failure of heatshield actually resulted in the destruction of the Columbia and the death of its crew. So having reliable heatshield which doesn't require full or partial replacement after each flight is still a very big problem, you really want a heatshield that can be used over and over without any problem, but I'll bet we won't see that until new materials have been discovered or an active heatshield is developed.
