One thing I fear about SpaceX going public is Space Twitter being invaded by thousands of crypto and investor bros The collective IQ of this community would be halved overnight 😭

Another funny thing I’ve seen a couple times is people expressing interest in the technical stuff in project Athena getting scolded for diverting attention away from the evil performance reviews and newspace being favored over legacy contractors Like the actual space

Ngl I worked at NASA and it has some of the laziest people I have ever met. I was literally asked by management to not work so hard. My boss came in once a month. The labs were empty 99% of the time which was great because I could just use anyone's equipment whenever I wanted
