    Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.

      They can call it the “Trytanic” or something and we can all laugh when it gets hit by an icy comet

      It has a fabulous track record, what are you talking about? Falcon 9 has had like 1 anomaly in the last 300 flights.

        I’m referring to the rockets intended for travelling to the moon and beyond (primarily the Starship), which has already failed thrice, has innumerable issues and massive cost overruns.

          That’s ridiculous, all launch vehicles have cost overruns. And judging Starship by a pre-production vehicle is also hilariously out of touch. Wait until they’re launching payloads and then make your point.
