      I love how the Musk circlejerk is basically absent on Lemmy compared to Reddit. The NASA contract funding (that they never should have gotten) has already been burned through, and HLS doesn’t even EXIST yet. No Mockup, no plans, and the barebones basic can barely limp into orbit.

      SpaceX is at zero out 20(ish) required launches for the first demo, and they require two of those before Artemis 3.

        Idk why you’re being down-voted. It really is a breath of fresh air not to have people calling Musk a god (twitter is heckin WEIRD).

        That being said, saying that SpaceX shouldn’t have gotten the contract is an unusual take. Care to explain?

        As for the funding, not only is it milestone-based (so they absolutely have not used it all up), but it’s pretty easy to see that the majority of the investment is coming from SpaceX itself. Honestly NASA got a pretty sweet deal if you ask me!
