I'm sad there are people out there that hate Elon Musk so much they can't appreciate what Starship represents.. The containerization of space.

If that means "packing space into a box owned by a rich asshole", I'll pass. It hands even more money to a man who spent a billion dollars trying to buy an election, and he failed only because he so monstrously fucked up the country that not even that much money could salvage it.

It is a remarkable technical achievement. That is nowhere near my top priority. I'm not even certain I like "containerization of space".

If this is the top comment here people are most certainly going to respond to it and talk about why they hate Elon instead of 'appreciating what Starship represents.'

What motivates someone to make this kind of comment and derail the conversation from the technical stuff?

I’m just waiting for them to paint the ships in bright colors with bumblebee patterns to ring in that Terran Trade Authority vibe.

Unfortunately they're the sort of people that if Elon Musk came out and said he was going to fund a cure for cancer they'd have a problem with it.
