Has anything good ever come out of SpaceX? Despite all his other stupidities, I'm under the impression, mainly from reading ars (technica), that this endeavor of his maybe isn't so bad🚀. Actually, if he had just kept his mouth shut I might still think that he wasn't such a bad guy.
My impression is that they pioneered the reusable rocket concept and greatly reduced the price per kg. for sending material into orbit.
However, I personally think they did that despite having Elon, not because of.
