    I was thinking that myself.

    It really seems like something maybe another billionaire would do to stay ahead. It’s just a game to them. These are just pieces on a board.

    It’d be easy to pay engineers to pretend to be frustrated, leave, and get hired into critical positions at competing companies. All they have to do after that is be completely incompetent at engineering while making sure nobody picks up that one bolt was a micrometer too big.

      Frankly, it would be more likely to be the Chinese, who have their own manned moon landing planned. We’re in a new space race, and most people don’t realize it. With this explosion, were in distant second place.

        I’m starting a group to beat everyone to the moon. No base. We’re just gonna go and take giant shits on all of the viable landing locations.
