While i dont like Elon for his Dodg-e-ness, this is still a pretty amazing feat. Are we mad because there are gov’t subsidies, or because certain people use them?

A person as smart as you knows that rocket science and lift vehicle development comes with major risks down a rocky road.

Im not trying to defend Elon here, but i will say i believe you are wrong saying this is not a major achievement in development of heavy lift reusable vehicles.
