If memory serves me correctly, SpaceX was not a government project or built with a government contract. Being free of the burdens of government interference, SpaceX built the best system to take people into space. The government shuttle program had one-time use fuel tank/rocket boosters on either side. Although the shuttle itself was reusable, those boosters were replaced, not reused. SpaceX recovers all of the pieces parts they launched from earth, verifies they can be used again and now they have the most comfortable, reusable and cost effective vehicle to go into space. Think about that the next time our government says it is best to leave the big decisions to them.

They are totally funded by government contracts and NASA. They have used government money to also launch their low earth orbit satellite network. They still have not lowered the cost per launch to the point they said they would years ago, I think reworking boosters has taken more time/money than they thought.

Cringe clickbait TikTok style video. Glad I will be blocking this channel. It is so cringe that you see computer screens and an autopilot system claiming its futuristic and mind blowing --- when every commercial airplane uses this already. What happens when the computer on board (hopefully redundant) doesn't work, commands from the ground cant be intercepted completely, and the astronauts need to get back to Earth? Do they just hit the center divider, flip, burn up and die like that autopilot car?

This isn't 1970 anymore Peter.. Those modern computer screens are all redundant and extremely reliable thanks to the reduction in the number of components. Also, every spacecraft since the 60s has relied on automation in all parts of flight. Dragon does take automation to the next level, which is something modern computers allow them to do. It makes the mission much safer overall.
