  1.  @commonsenseskeptic  I know its a year late but you haven't been totally clean with the issues of NASA, Falcon and Soyuz. *YES you are absolutely right SpaceX was late delivering Crew Dragon, and that Starship is a disaster in the making, but: You didn't put Falcon and Crew Dragon in perspective against other programs. Look at how many other projects that were put forward NONE of which delivered anything. Boeing in particular has so far TOTALLY FAILED with Starliner and Starliner is costed at millions more per launch. You did put up the costs of Shuttle but didn't mention that if even 5 of those American crews had been done using the Space Shuttle that would have cost over $2.2 Billion. I did my degree in aerospace and along with my class mates watched our dreams go up with Challenger in January 1986. I was in a minority but was further disheartened when NASA announced a replacement (Endeavour). I agreed with Kelly Johnson (lead engineer for the SR-71) who said that money needed to go to a replacement and with his background should have been listened to. IMHO I think Gwynne Shotwell and the Space X team that works on the Falcon series including Crew Dragon have done an incredible job DESPITE the presence of Elon Musk. This is even more evident when compared against Boeing's Starliner and the Ares/Constellation and SLS programs none of which have yet successfully flown. In fact it might be a good question to where they might be IF Elon Musk wasn't sapping them of resources on his fantasy clown stupidity of Starship. Yeah mate IMHO Starship will be a bigger failure than the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was an incredible technical achievement in that they made a reusable space plane work, BUT it was a total failure in how much it cost in resources (both financial and manpower) and STARVED other programs of those resources. What's Starship doing at the moment? I know you have done vids on other parts of Musk's space programs but if you want some technical input on doing any more I'd be happy to help.
