Still, the specific injuries sound gruesome, like amputations and crushing. And sure, to a degree this just happens if you do something often enough, but we have safety standards for a reason, it’s wild to me that this isn’t something where safety is paramount.
After all, think about all the product that could get damaged! 😑
Elongated Muskrat runs his companies like the cyberpunk villain he aspires to be. Wouldn’t be surprised if all the employees at his companies signed over their physical bodies and implants as part of an NDA because he lives in a fantasy land where it’s 2019 rain-drenched fire-spewing-tower L.A.
Dafuq they doing over there
SpaceX are on track to launch 130 times this year. The industry competitors launch 6-12 times per year.
I suspect the higher incident rate is related, since you will need to manufacture, roll out, etc… much more often.
The article also talks about most the incidents being in booster recovery. Only 2 Space competitors do that,
Blue Origins sub orbital booster always returned to launch site and at best managed monthly launch. This rocket hasn’t launched in more than a year.
Rocket Lab perform ocean recovery but only launched 11 times last year and only recovered the booster twice.
So its hard to really compare

Of course Elon Musk doesn’t actually run SpaceX
