Worth watching. I wanted to believe in the promise of Spacex, but the whole aluminium-can solution for the trapped kids in a cave back in 2018 kinda burst my Musk-bubble.

I must have forgotten about that. One thing I never could make work was the spaceship-instead-of-airplane thing supposedly being faster and cheaper, considering rocket fuel consumption

But to be honest I was not 100% sure about even that (given the hype), and didn't bother to investigate further, and just forgot about it. But at least I wasn't an evangelist :)

I just worry if the Musk-myth crumbles then it may take a lot of the enthusiasm for human space flight down with it.

TBH Musk has his head up his ass; Bezos is doing it right. Mars base is pointless; we need (and almost have the tech for) O'Neill cylinders.

Btw, I did not notice the death symbol after Elon's name. My 2 cents here is more in the category of "Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises".

Which portion do you disagree with?

"Which portion" of what, the videos? I do not disagree with them. They seem OK to me (again, without having spent time investigating).
