/sci/ - Science & Math

I know it's overdone, but can someone explain the psychology of the people online that rabidly defend this thing? Is it just Musk seeth or what? I mean even assuming they suddenly cancel Starship, the falcon heavy can do 90% of SLS for 40x less dev cost and 20x less launch cost. If you actually like space and care where the limited budget goes you should fucking hate this thing

It's going to fly. It's going to take us to the Moon, ahead of schedule. And it'll be so cheap that SpaceX goes bankrupt and Musk is arrested for being a redditor. How is /sfg/ gonna cope?

PLEASE GOD JUST FUCKING LAUNCH ALREADY
I CANT TAKE THE FUCKING EMBARRASSMENT ANYMORE
