I feel bad for the SpaceX team. No sympathy for Musk considering all the mean spirited and unfair things he's said publicly about Orbital Sciences' rockets (inc. "One of our competitors, Orbital Sciences, has a contract to resupply the International Space Station, and their rocket honestly sounds like the punch line to a joke. It uses Russian rocket engines that were made in the '60s. I don’t mean their design is from the '60s -- I mean they start with engines that were literally made in the '60s and, like, packed away in Siberia somewhere."). Which is an even more ironic quote if you knew that Musk tried to buy exactly those same rockets from Russia and was declined[0].
Interesting, I didn't know that. I was intrigued enough that I had to look up the original quote[0] as I had my doubts. I was able to easily find it though, is from a 10/12/2012 interview with Wired.
Perhaps he's gained some humility since then; I'm still very inspired by him regardless...
Hopefully Musk is learning some humility.
