all true. except for one thing. It is a 100% inevitability that spacex will kill astronauts at somepoint if they are doing manned spaceflight. Not because of Elon or because of SpaceX but because things break and go wrong always.
Who thinks Elon will react well to all the careful, slow deliberation NASA has traditionally responded to such things? Especially in the face of putting a hold on SpaceX's launch ambitious schedule pending the investigation?
Personally, i think it will go about as well as congress asking trump for his tax returns. Especially if it comes out while Elon is still playing the petulant man-child over at twitter.
