    I’m super curious what the public response will be if people die in a SpaceX launch. Will it get as much scrutiny as if it were the NASA shuttle?

      I don’t think so, I think it will be a blip in everyone’s feeds. For NASA they built their program on the country’s involvement, because that’s how they got funding, and so there was an emotional attachment and involvement. SpaceX is background noise for the majority of people, they could have people dying left and right and it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.
