> Well, if your thesis is that the safety and QA culture in SpaceX is somehow significantly worse than the industry average, then how come Falcon 9 is the most reliable rocket to have ever flown, by a wide margin (if going by number of nominal launches in a row)?

Because most of those flights are unmanned and have much lower complexity than manned flights in terms of the requirements. Human-rated rockets are a different ball of wax. While we're on the subject, SpaceX set other records... [in workplace accidents.](https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-musk-safety/)

"One severe injury in January 2022 resulted from a series of safety failures that illustrate systemic problems at SpaceX, according to eight former SpaceX employees familiar with the accident. In that case, a part flew off during pressure testing of a Raptor V2 rocket engine – fracturing the skull of employee Francisco Cabada and putting him in a coma.

The sources told Reuters that senior managers at the Hawthorne, California site were repeatedly warned about the dangers of rushing the engine’s development, along with inadequate training of staff and testing of components. The part that failed and struck the worker had a flaw that was discovered, but not fixed, before the testing, two of the employees said."

In other words, they knew there was a problem, pressure-tested anyhow, and put a dude in a coma as a result. Two years later, same model of engine being tested, and there's a giant explosion due to improper handling of explosive gasses. That's after they littered nearby parking lots with debris because they failed to build a blast pad for one of the largest rockets ever launched. I know they know how to do the math. I know the engineers are smart enough to be safe. Elon is making decisions that do not allow them to be safe.

Our tax dollars go to him. Until he stops lighting our money on fire and maiming and killing people with it, he needs to address these concerns. Otherwise, NASA needs to stop giving his dumb ass money.
