https://streamable.com/kl5lqk Here he is being asked about what he said to the families. Also about how he pushes the limits. I think when he says 'saw' he probably saw them through a window lol.

I wanted to blow up those rockets, actually lol "did you say anything to the families" '......... I said we've done everything we can... to make sure they come back' already sounds like Apollo 13 and they're still on the ground

Just remembered that unlike previous manned vehicles SpaceX has insisted against strong protest by NASA that the vehicle has its propellants loaded while the astronauts are onboard rather than getting the astronauts in after propellant loading, due to the use of densified propellants that can't just sit in the tanks for hours without warming up. Not that it's probably that big of a deal but NASA considered this practice too risky, so I assume they eventually just gave up on their objections.

I hope it goes well so it inflates Musk's ego for a bigger fall later. People shouldn't die for Musk.

We regret to inform you that the autopilot interpreted the highway divider as an available lane, also that full self driving does not imply 100% autonomy and it's all the astronauts fault for watching Harry Potter

I was going to tell my kids to watch the launch but they don't need the trauma if it blows up, poo poo's bad enough already lately. I do miss launches though and would try to drive to the space coast for shuttle launches when I could and watch from a spot in the mangroves across the water from the site, was loud as poo poo

i don't want the astronauts to die but i want this to fail so spectacularly that we stop trying to do public-private partnerships in space (also everywhere else) and if the only way to get there is over charred corpses then give us some charred corpses

the rocket blowing up is the best case scenario, if those touchscreen controls don’t perform to spec then Musk could make the Lost Cosmonauts Myth real
