it's very weird to me that people are saying spacex is bad because sometimes the rockets blow up instead of land. there are important criticisms of the company *and* spaceflight, that's just.. not one
all the other rockets, every single one, perform lithobraking, btw. controlled landing even when it doesn't work does actually teach you a lot?
remember like five years ago when "land a rocket where it launched" wasn't a thing that happened regularly
again, there are real criticisms of spacex outside "ha ha rocket blew up": https://twitter.com/AstroStaab/status/1357146215129972741
doesn't seem great that a company that wants to put humans in space would say "eh these regulations are too hard, let's just launch"
