Yes, SpaceX will eventually have a lives-lost incident, and it will be ugly. How the market / investors take it I have no prediction for.

But NASA has had several of those types of accidents over the years, so the waterfall / perfection model isn't immune to them, either. The two shuttle losses were due to bureaucracy that defeated NASA's safety culture, and the Apollo 1 debacle showed that their vaunted safety and technical reviews actually could miss something very important - several things simultaneously, in fact.

I think it's unfair to compare SpaceX's current test-to-failure of Super Heavy and Starship to human-rated missions from anyone. They did the same test-to-failure rapid development with Falcon 9 and Cargo Dragon, leading to Crew Dragon, and they haven't had a life-lost incident yet. They're not deliberately testing-to-failure with humans on board.

Vaduz, Liechtenstein

The image displays a full-body sculpture of an astronaut, rendered in a metallic silver material, sitting on a dark, rectangular pedestal. The astronaut is wearing a helmet with a reflective visor that obscures the face. The suit has visible details such as creases, stitching, and some darker blue accents on the chest and arms.
The sculpture is positioned outdoors on a paved area, with a building in the background. The building features light-colored block work and has multiple windows with dark, ornate bars. The windows have rounded arches at the top. The night scene is illuminated by artificial light casting shadows on the ground and parts of the building. A faint red line is visible at the very bottom of the frame.

Helen Sharman, the UK's first astronaut, launched on the 18th May 1991 to the Mir Space Station; her mission name was Project Juno. A chemist and astronaut, she became the first British person, the first western European woman and the first privately funded woman in space, as well as the first woman to visit the Mir Space Station. #HelenSharman #ProjectJuno #MirSpaceStation #WomenInSpace #Astronaut

description by GPT4ALL: A woman in a bright orange spacesuit crouches in the middle of a narrow, dusty, concrete tunnel. Her helmet visor is up, revealing her calm, focused face. The scene is filled with a hazy, golden light streaming from an overhead opening. The floor is wet and muddy, scattered with debris and broken pipes, which reflect her vibrant suit. Large industrial ventilation ducts curve along the walls, suggesting an abandoned or damaged space station or facility. The atmosphere feels tense and post-apocalyptic, as if she is exploring a forgotten or dangerous place.

description by chatGPT: A lone figure in a dark, full-body sci-fi suit stands in a vast, reddish-orange desert landscape at sunset. Scattered rocks and sparse tufts of dry grass dot the sandy terrain. Before the figure floats a massive, perfectly smooth metallic sphere, suspended just above the ground. The surface of the sphere is like a mirror, vividly reflecting the surrounding desert, distant mountain range, glowing clouds, and the tiny silhouette of the observer standing below it. The entire scene glows warmly under the low golden sun, creating an atmosphere of awe, mystery, and surreal stillness.

Sinnvolle NASA-Mission – Elon #Musk verliert gegen #dänischen #Astronauten

Als Andreas Mogensen dem Unternehmer Elon Musk eine #Lüge nachwies, verlor der die Fassung: Er beschimpfte den Astronauten als „zurückgebliebenen Idioten“. Auslöser war ein faktenarmes Interview von Musk und Donald Trump zu „gestrandeten“ US-Astronauten.

China launches three astronauts to replace crew on Chinese space station.

From @AssociatedPress: "The Tiangong, or 'Heavenly Palace,' space station has made China a major contender in space, especially since it was entirely Chinese-built after the country was excluded from the International Space Station over U.S. national security concerns."
