IDNeon Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Why does SpaceX lie about everything? Here is an example: Quote https://www.cnet.com/news/spacex-simplified-everything-you-need-to-know-about-elon-musks-rocket-empire/#:~:text=SpaceX%2C the rocket company founded,of taking humans to Mars. extract: SpaceX grabbed heaps of attention in February of 2018 when it launched Falcon Heavy, the most powerful rocket launched from the US since the Saturn V that sent astronauts to the moon. This is a flat out lie. Falcon Heavy total thrust is 3.4million lbs sealevel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Heavy Space Shuttle total thrust was 6.78million lbs sea level. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle And the lies don't stop there. Will someone please tell me why SpaceX lies? SpaceX's biggest rocket is almost 1/3rd the thrust needed to match SaturnV. SaturnV came it at a whopping 9.2million lbs total thrust. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V SpaceX isn't close to getting anyone to the moon. Edited May 3, 2021 by IDNeon
