There are (does not check the internet) thousands of employees at SpaceX. Fuck musk. He's a megalomaniac man child. Everyone else is for the most part chill and doing amazing work.

If all it takes is a "megalomaniac man child" to create a launch company that puts world governments to shame... Then lets have a lot more of them please! (This is a joke, OP's comment is ridiculous on the face of it.)

Am I the OP? I wasn't aware r/space was full of such a mix of pro ESA rocket fans and pro musk dangus'.

It is difficult to care about space exploration and not appreciate what Musk has accomplished with SpaceX.

That person doesn't care about space exploration or progress.
Only hating Musk.

A pretty damn acceptable way of thinking. Musk is such a nincompoop, despite his accomplishments.

r/space is an odd place for people who don't value space exploration.

Yes, but the problem is the looming threat that Musk can make some crazy declaration and derail a successful or upcoming program at any moment. He has fast become a liability to their success.

Fair enough. I'll roughly cite the other comments on this post then. It is a paper rocket, it doesn't exist.
I want there to be competition, options, for commercial space flight but this isn't news. There are dozens of companies trying to do what spacex has done. They have real rockets, real hardware. I wil check in on this in 2ish years when ideas come to fruition.

Yeah, it sucks that the rest of the industry took so long to come around. It's not a wonderfully stable situation. At least now there are signs that it won't remain this way.
