Another cost Elon Musk has managed to externalize.

Flying around with extra pounds of fuel not needed for normal operations, with the usual fudge factor, is economically wasteful. Heavier then need be aircraft make for avoidable work for aircraft, engines, runways, mechanics, budgets, and other services. That adds up quickly.

@ProPublica

Cool, so, has anybody worked out how much extra CO2 we're going to generate hauling around fuel reserves to protect people from (checks notes) entirely foreseeable consequences of some dickhead's FAFO excuse of a development cycle?

@ProPublica those rocket companies should be paying the airlines to haul around that extra fuel. Not up to them to eat these negative externalities caused by others.

@ProPublica
OR impose saner testing regime on SpaceX?

Commercial operators should sue #SpaceX to recover costs incurred by SpaceX launch failures.

@ProPublica All peons near the billionaire's foolish escapades must bow before him as he explodes again.

@ProPublica

Or, and hear me out on this, we take all of SpaceX's assets and give them to NASA and then put Elon Musk on a raft and push it out into the ocean.

@ProPublica
Spacex should be grounded until they have proven twice that they can reach orbit safely

Don't ask me how they can do that. Fuckem.

@ProPublica The US Government has officially entered The Clusterfuck Zone!
