thelambentonion, I can't help but notice your numerous posts expressing skepticism regarding SpaceX in this thread. I see a post in your comment history where you included a disclaimer, saying that you worked for a competitor to SpaceX.

Does the fact that you aren't including any disclaimers in your posts now mean you no longer work for a competitor to SpaceX?

Ah yes; I sold out not-too-long-ago to go work in commercial software :)

I suppose it might be worth it to keep including the disclaimer, as it'a possible I may be biased in some way that I'm not consciously aware of. Although it bears mentioning that if my former employer made half of SpaceX's promises, I'd be twice as skeptical! So a point in their favor.

I hope I'm not coming off as too much of an asshole in these threads; I really do want to see commercial space flight grow and succeed going forward. It's just that my experience and the conversations I've had with current and former SpaceX employees gives me an unhealthy dose of skepticism regarding a lot of their claims.
