      Nope. Musk sucks. I’ll defend a lot of the work they’re doing at spacex, though.

      I think the closure was over Hawaii and maybe related to the window for completing a full orbit. If they hadn’t decided to commit to a full orbital trajectory, then they would have had to aerobrake Starship and that could have led to debris. So it may have been cautionary.

        I don’t see how your article supports your argument, other than confirming that there was a spacex launch. The original article also talks about how flights in hawaii had to stop a second time due to spacex debris, which is definetly spacex’s fault, but local, and mostly talks about the us-wide problem due to communication issues. If I had just read the meme or thr article’s link and seen some headline about the flights stopping, I would have wrongly believed that it all was spacex’s fault
