You know spacex is failing when NASA insiders are leaking to the NYT about how far behind the program is. Apparently <gasp> Elmo has over-promised and under-delivered.

The former reality tv dude who's now head of NASA among other roles for which he's highly unqualified (FAA, USDOT) says there's nothing to see.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the acting NASA administrator, said in a statement to The Times that he was standing by the current SpaceX plan.

Smarter Every Day has an excellent video about the current "moon mission" and it's planning shortcomings. After his talk (over a year ago now) NASA even amended their mission plan to address unaccounted orbital refuelings from Starship to Starship. 18 refuelings PER MOON TRIP, and they haven't even successfully demonstrated orbital flight, much less orbital cryogenic refueling

Least week, I was at a happy hour with some software vendors we have a partnership with. There was one guy who I had previously interacted with a lot and is very smart and talented so I started a conversation with him. 

We are having some drinks and discussing some potential projects regarding agentic AI and DFIR. The discussion was great and then xAI and Grok come up. This guy starts criticizing OpenAI and Altman, I was agreement with his criticism. Then the conversation pivots back to Grok/xAI.

This guy explains only Elon can be trusted with AI, then praises Grok switches to Tesla and how great Robotaxi will be. Then starts talking about the future with Optimus. His eyes are lit up like someone talking about Jesus and heaven. Fucking talking about living on Mars and Elon making sure everyone will have UBI because Elon has a vision for our future. 

I brought up Waymo and all the Zoox robotaxis we were seeing in Vegas. Mentioned all of the robot companies already ahead of Tesla and circled back to the xAI issues. The dude just waved it off and said Elon's vision is coming together and nobody can scale like Elon.

That was my first time interacting with an Elon fanboi in real life and towards the end of the conversation I just sat there like Walter Googins in The White Lotus.

It’s truly bizarre. For the first 53 or so years of my life I was able to pretty much have a normal conversation with just about anyone. The last 2-3, all bets are off. Many otherwise seemingly normal and intelligent people have just completely lost their minds. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen and I did not see this coming.
