Wow, really displaying your ignorance here lol
The SpaceX flights are way more efficient and reproducible than the Apollo missions ever were. The only reason they aren't regularly going to the moon is that there isn't a strong incentive to do so.

- inhumantsar 3y agoYou must be trolling. Do you have any idea how many completely uneventful flights Falcon 9 vehicles have flown? The most recent version (the FT which had its first flight in 2015) has had precisely zero failures across 254 launches. They have a better safety record than any other launch vehicle in history, including the Saturn V and the Shuttle. The deaths stemming from those programs have held back interest in manned space exploration more than any failed test flight ever will.
- mcpackieh 3y agoYes, wheelerof4te is trolling. He's a Moon landing denialist, but he likes to beat around the bush a lot (e.g. waste your time) before getting to that. Asking a lot of dumb questions like "if [whatever rocket] is so advanced then why hasn't it been to the Moon?" In his mind the answer to these questions is that we've never been to the Moon in the first place. I remember him doing this routine in another thread earlier this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38261198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38261198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38260917 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38260917 Don't waste your time with him.
