Yeah it's a bunch of aspirational nonesense, their rocket is nowhere safe enough yet (or even in the near future), SpaceX is a proud member of the aspirational club alongside (the much loved by Hackernews members) intel foundry!

Why so? Falcons have reliably so many launches, they are undeniably the most battle tested rocket ever made. I genuinely have no idea, why are they not safe?

[dev1ycan]

I'm obviously talking about Starship, which is mentioned 208 times in their article.

You obviously want that they fail. Your "the rocket is not safe and will never be" is what is aspirational.

[jakeydus]

That's not what OP said, though.

[bryanlarsen]

Huh? The Falcon9 has the best reliability and safety record of any rocket in history, and it's not even close.

Yes, Boeing rockets have a much better track record on uptime, availability, and cost, like when that Boeing rocket famously saved the stranded astronauts after SpaceX demonstrated extended incompetence in getting a rocket up to space /s
