[flagged]

That is a super bad take and we will probably both get flagged and rightly so (in fact I will even flag myself to get this off HN faster if it’s not deemed helpful) but your attempted slur deserves a response.

The parties opposed to child rape and unreasonable levels of immigration in Europe get called far right because they do scoop up a few far right supporters. But that’s unfair given the alternatives. HN really isn’t the place but let’s just say overall maybe it would be better if Europe doesn’t devolve further away from freedom and western values.

		>The parties opposed to child rape and unreasonable levels of immigration in Europe get called far right because they do scoop up a few far right supporters. Flagging your comment as well because AFD is definitely not a "few far right supporters". The issue isn't being against child rape and unreasonable levels of immigration. The issue is that the people who are against that are all liars and charlatans, just like in United States, where the party of moral righteousness and small government is full of child molesters and currently doing some pretty authoritarian shit. Just because a problem isn't getting addressed as fast as one hopes doesn't mean that one should completely jump ship to literally anyone who offers support for your cause.

At a cost of indiscriminately imprisoning and killing people (remember Korolyov and von Braun)? Surely. he-he.

If Musk does achieve a second foothold for the humanity, then any and all objections to his methods become irrelevant. So far he does deliver. So we wait for the final result.

Also, if you don't know, we've got a war in europe for like 3.5 years already. I'm seriously curious how many times a space-x total program cost since their start in 2000s has been already sunk into that.

Setting aside the founder or company itself, philosophically and ethically the “ends justify any means” concept is deeply flawed.

I agree with your general statement, but in this particular case nobody has credibly articulated any real problem with the means.

Especially when the ends are even less likely to work then Marxism Leninism

		But the scientific method does work. So we observe the experiment kindly undertaken by Mr Musk. And then when some results happen we decide. Remember, development of the R-7 into the most reliable expendable booster took about 40 years and that with full backing of a Soviet Union.
