One explosion, and millions of dollars of investment gone. That means some people are going to lose their jobs. They probably have sick babies/spouses/parents at home. Now they won't be able to pay for the medicines, and people suffer and die.
Is it still funny now?
I don't get it either. It's strange what people find funny.
Speaking as someone who spent almost 2 decades in the space biz, it's painful to see something like this happen. Lofting a satellite that weighs a ton into a precise orbit is an engineering marvel. There are literally millions of lines of code, miles of wiring, tremendous pressures and intense heat, cold and radiation that have to be overcome. It's a testament to engineers worldwide that we don't have more catastrophic failures. As we speak, SpaceX will be gathering data, assembling investigation teams and rewriting procedures to determine the cause of the failure and ensure that it doesn't happen again.
These trivial pursuits of greatness are things to be mocked in today's fundamentally transformed Amerikkka.
Yeah..let's mock attempting to be great..because it might tarnish your world view if something wonderful, or even marvelous happens..instead of doom and gloom.
