Funnily enough I saw German posts on reddit by people who see that as a sign that Elon Musk is a Nazi, because that was Hitler’s birthday…

You know for all the hate Elon deserves, that’s still absolutely stupid.

Yeah, there are so many valid points of criticism, but that isn’t one of them.

Mind you, he tends to hold rather awful views on labor policies etc. But let’s not get into that, yeh?

Yeah, Musk may not be the most agreeable person, but he’s definitely one of the greatest inventors of our time. Also let’s not forget the environmental contribution pushing the EV development.

I once hailed him as a genius and the possible saviour of all of us.
That might not be true. But spacex still might be. So lets root for spacex

I can definitely agree with that.

Can we all agree that Elon is an alien (I mean c’mon, just look at him) and the only reason he wants a mission to Mars is so he can go home?

That would explain a LOT of things.

Here’s the issue…just because you’re intelligent or an expert in one field does NOT mean you are automatically an expert in others.
How many great engineers are also great businessmen? How many great scientists are also great leaders? The skill sets are not the same.
So every time I see someone on the news commenting on an area outside their expertise, I want to shake them. Why do you have an economist talking about stuff unrelated to the economy?!?
Elon has “well I am” blindness. He expects all the people to act and feel like he does. Zero work/life balance because your work is your life? He does! He has proved his intelligence in several areas, but I have seen no proof he possesses any empathy. That makes him a poor leader–he does not and cannot understand those under him.

Seems like propellant loading has begun. At least I see fog.
T-1h22m
Shame about the weather. Monday would have been great views.
Yeah, I hope that the fog at least clears a bit. 43 minutes to go…
T-2m looking good
Sorry…
Another small pressirization problem, but now it’s going on
And it’s GOING! 
It seems like it’s circling an awful lot…
