NASA: "Failure is not an option!" Elon: "Success is one of the possible outcomes."

@NathansHVAC 2 года назад

in government, everyone is positions of authority says no. It is the safest option.

@john_hind 2 года назад

These perspectives are not very different. Failure is a possible outcome, but not an option. It is something that might happen, but it is not something you are willing to choose. Gene Krantz's creed comes from a time when NASA took its mission seriously. It never meant "we won't do anything that might fail", it means "we will not accept failure until we have exhausted all options". Elon's version implicitly accepts that failure is possible, even likely.

@BoostedSpeedDemon Год назад

Man, I think the biggest and coolest take away from this is watching Elon actually take in the view for the first time. You can tell that he is probably always so focused on the project that he never stops to just take a look and appreciate the beauty of the world around him. And you could tell he was almost in awe of his own creation, taking it in for the first time like everybody else there. A man like that probably doesn't get a chance to just stop and appreciate very often.

I’m convinced everyone who hates on Elon just hasn’t seen stuff like this. It’s so inspiring. You get the sense he’s never actually been up there, cause he’s been so busy working on it, he hasn’t even enjoyed the cool parts of his work. Much respect to this man.

@jonshellmusic Год назад

Maxwell, Agree about the Elon haters. Its knee jerk and mindless hatred because he is a billionaire and has Defense Contracts. I have so many friends who call him ‘evil’ without understanding what his goals are or that he doesn’t particularly care about money - he seems to see money as a resource for getting things done. And Elon is doing more to make our species multi-planetary than anyone else alive.

@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356 Год назад

I mean, I appreciate his brilliance. Plus a lot of what he is doing is really cool and important like Tesla and all of its electric charging infrastructure. But then the man goes and starts a flame war on Twitter or decides to waste $40 billion *buying* it, and all I can think is 🤦🏼‍♂️. So I have mixed feelings about him personally.

@BolivGaming Год назад

@@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356 so you’re giving him credit for all the amazing things he’s doing but you’re mad because he spent $21 million of his own money on acquiring twitter? Who are you to say what he can and can’t spend his money on? It’s not like he’s spent $21 million on weapons manufacturing or supporting fucked up population control ideas like bill gates.

@BolivGaming Год назад

@@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356 aha yes I meant $21 billion haha I see where you’re coming from, however Elon musk is not responsible for improving the electrical infrastructure across the the USA, what he has done has created the demand for such infrastructure with his electric vehicles, forcing firms and the government to supply such stations. He understands how economics works, and how free markets dictate that supply=demand. Infrastructure of electrics and talks renewables, are becoming ever more present because of Teslas shakeup of the automotive world. What Elon does is shocks the system into change, and he will continue to do so. Regard twitter, I think he was fed up with the censorship that was going on with the platform, and the bots that roam the twitter biome. I think it is quite an important problem to address, considering the lack of freedom of speech currently, on massive social media platforms such as twitter.

Maybe. those young engineers just don't have the experience and courage to talk Musk out of a stupid design?

@tenkiaqua6131 Год назад

@@XBarFighterX LOL, experience and courage from old engineers of ULA and Boeing doesn't help. Young engineers on SpaceX proved it by Falcon rockets and Dragon capsules. If you think experience is so superior over talent or creativity, you should apply and work for Japanese companies like Sharp, Toshiba, etc. They're dying af.

@tenkiaqua6131 Год назад

Agreed. When seeing many videos from Boeing, ULA, etc, seeing a lot of old engineers and operators (most of them are over 45 years old or olders). I did respect the experience but they should use it wisely for quality control, not for designing/creating and problem-solving. That's why Startliner or SLS has a lot of problems for years without clear solutions
