SpaceX is polluting like a motherfucker, breaking ecological laws all over the place, and the only reason they don't get hammered is because they're in fucking Texas. It's the same for anything safety related in the company as well. This is the guy who "didn't like yellow" so he demanded that all warning signs not be as visible. SpaceX is a fucking OSHA inspectors god damned nightmare. Once again, jack shit happens because he's in Texas and the Governor and AG are outright protecting him.
Can we stop sucking the dick of tech companies that fuck up the planet, ignore safety laws, and are raping the public for a quick buck?
Fuck Musk, Fuck SpaceX, and fucking grow up, none of these people are good people if they're willing to sell their souls and lives to these assholes to get the job done. Especially when they're willing to ignore safety rules at the expense of their own workers to do it. They can all die in a fucking fire for all I care. (And if they have their way with safety rules, it will fucking happen!)
EDIT: Also, pro-tip: We're never actually going to fucking Mars. We can barely function in a biosphere actually specifically attuned to us. If you're all in on this Mars shit, you've been taken for a ride by a fucking charlatan. It's literally unsurvivable and we don't have the technology to change that. We can't even terraform our own planet, with life and water on it. We could be actually spending money on fixing our biosphere but I guess rich asshole ambitions to be the King of Mars plays better than fucking reality to a lot of chumps.
If you've never read up on the Biosphere 2 experiment, you should.
We tried living in a dome on this planet and it rapidly devolved into a low-oxygen roach infested infighting mess.
And people think we're even REMOTELY close to doing it on a planet that's actually deadly outside of the dome? Hah.
We literally just lived through a pandemic where the best place to avoid getting the disease was being outside in fresh air away from other people.
An outbreak of something like COVID in a tin can on Mars? You're asking for mass death, just straight asking for it.
The good news is that wouldn't happen!
If someone coming from Earth had a contagious disease, everyone would die on the ship flying to Mars, thus resolving that particular problem!
