Jokes on you, the buttons will be on the wrong side! Ahahahahaha
Edit: yes I know t-shirts don't have buttons. Bad attempt at humour. Not deleting because I stand behind my mistakes.

That genuinely does sound like a lot of fun.
Tell them that the south has renounced the pope. That'll do it without further complications.
I bet you're fun at parties.
The company is impressive technically, I guess? I don't know really. Like I wrote before, Shotwell is running it, not Mr ego personified, so maybe the shine hasn't worn off like it did for Tesla and Twitter for some people?
I like what they've achieved, I think that it will motivate for ULA and Boeing to 'do better' and they've proved its possible to succeed at a number of rocket technologies that had been previously written off, like cost effective reusability and full flow staged combustion.
That said, I'm not going to be upset if ULA pulls ahead of them, or if Rocket Lab has a huge win, or if ArianeSpace decides that it's time to stop sitting on their hands. I'm a fan of space technology, and I don't particularly care which company advances the cause.
*Edit: motivate not moticate
What's that got to do with anything? SpaceX isn't traded and doesn't pay dividends.
Not the greatest example, imo.
SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts with far more cost efficiency than any of its competitors.
The most glaring example is the Commercial Crew Program. They were given far less money than Boeing, and it looks like they might end up being the sole US provider of commercial crew to the ISS.
Starship HLS (moon lander starship) is government funded, but core Starship is not, it's financed with private equity - so the rocket explosions haven't been on the taxpayers' dime.
That all said, Elon doesn't really run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell does - which is probably the smartest business decision Elon has ever made.
What's so insane about it? Web browsers are an evolution of the old gopher protocol. All this stuff has roots in text consoles.
