SpaceX again embarrasses Russian and Chinese state Space programs with 7 man Dragon spaceship launch

[casual]

This was actually the argument as to why state Socialism is not a great idea. Once you have something working there is no financial incentive to pursue any more innovation. So things stagnate...in the case of the Soyuz this is now 50 years.

Innovation is driven by necessity and in the case of the dragon nationalism. Soyuz lunches are cheaper then dragon so your financial insensitive is bs.

Are you criticizing socialism?
chinese socialism ：1949-2019(≈70 years)
American capitalism：You know
Chinese socialism and the Soviet union's socialism is different
Now, Russia is not a socialist country

Russia has universal health care, universal public transportation. Russia is far more socialist than America. Most big corporations are state owned, not private owned like in the US. Russia government is a government for the people, not a government for the big private corporations. In America they waste tax payer money building useless wind turbines and solar panels. In Russia they don't do that. They use nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas, coal.

Lol!
Dumb phones are cheaper than smartphones. Do you want to switch back to them because they cost less? I think moving forward is looked upon as better than stagnation EVEN if it costs more.

I don’t think necessity caused the rise of (for example) smartphones. It was more like advances in technology allowed them to built at a mass-market price. If anything innovation can create a necessity. You have to use a smartphone now to use your mobile payment system. The smartphone wasn’t made to solve that problem..it was the one that created it.

Why are Americans chest thumping on achievements of Elon Musk ? Don't they know he will release all the patents ?

No they are not releasing any SpaceX patents. In fact it is guarded technology and only US citizens can work at Spacex. The Tesla car patents are a completely different story.

Naw dude, smartphones added more functionality to regular phones. You were able to do things with smartphones that you couldn't with regular phones. You can't say the same about Dragon capsule over Soyuz capsule.

Reusability (for other missions other than NASA..like space tourism) 7 people?

Anyway this all will be moot when they launch their Starship and there simply wont be any doubt.
