Getting into space is very hard. If one goes back to review any major system development, there were many failures. the STS lost four full engine sets prior to a successful Flight readiness test. Minuteman, nike, Redstone, Atlas, Centaur, the Delta Series ALL had several failures. While Space X tends to push the safety envelope a bit in the PUBLICS mind, knowing some of the lead engineers, they are NOT cutting corners. This is just plain hard.As for the political stuff. All of us have a right to free speech. No everyone LIKE what everyone says (that would be boring) but until a persons rights are infringed upon then free speech is the way of this nation. like it or not.
