SpaceX launched this mission. The tweet isn't a dig at NASA. They're partners in this mission.
Nationalizing them would be a mistake. NASA studied Falcon 9 development and found that they couldn't have done it nearly as quickly or cheaply. SpaceX is a huge benefit to taxpayers.

This. Also, it's interesting that if a character is explicitly trans, the complaint is "it's being forced down our throats!" or "why is their gender identity their only characteristic?"
If the character isn't explicitly trans, it's "it's not explicitly stated!"

There is a reason so many trans folk are relating to Spider-Gwen's story, and it's not because "HEY, SHE HAS TRANS COLORS BEHIND HER IN A SCENE". While, yes, we NEED more EXPLICIT trans characters, trans folks love Gwen because her story is steeped in queer and trans themes.(1/3)

"SpaceX won't work with Impulse because it cuts too much into their most profitable business" is a WILD take, and demonstrates an almost unfathomable understanding of SpaceX's roadmap for a fan of rocketry.

This is perhaps the most important benefit of SpaceX's style of development + reusable rockets.
Nobody ever truly knows the risk of a rocket launch, but low-cadence expendable rockets are the worst, by far.
A 1% failure rate is unacceptable in human spaceflight, but it would be
And every explosion as a result of limit testing will mark a potential point of failure and ask for fixing instead of hiding in margin and showing up once people flying with it and it's too late. 9/10
