There was no reason to, we had way over 100 of these and everybody and their mom and their moms boyfriends know the stream craps out every time they butter the bread, so all you had to do was sitting tight for less than 10 seconds and not being a major dramaqueen in the launch thread for no aparant reason, unless you are some ula commie shit

Too overt.
If you want to bring the rabid Musk stans out of the woodwork, you've got to use *mild* criticism. Observe:

Elon Musk isn't perfect

>> No.12787198

>>12787191
Or you can go for in-depth, constructive criticism:

This rocket landed while on fire and exploded several minutes after touchdown, instead of immediately like last time. It's progress, but they haven't perfected the technology yet
