Rocket scientists are people too
When they are rocket scientists, they are to be held in much higher standard than the rest of the people.

Would you like your airplane pilot to be excused for his mistakes with "pilots are people too?". What about your surgeon? Your explosives warehouse manager? Your nuclear plant operator? Your nuclear arsenal officer? etc

For some professions, there is no room for error. If they want to have the excuse of "we are people too", then leave the big bucks/responsibility job and do something else

At most their errors should be based on scientific errors but definitely not negligence

My point is that rocket scientists are not perfect human never to make a mistake, therefore they needs to be regulated like everyone else. Rocket scientists can be free to dream up any crazy contraption as they please and there needs to be another group of people that tells them what can or cannot be done.

Pilots don't (usually) fuck up not because they're perfect human being, but because there're clear regulations on what they do and they know if they fuck up they go to jail or worse.

Therefore I'm placing the blame partly on SP for being reckless and partly on regulatory systems failing to regulate. That's why I'm against putting the hammer on SP, if their stupid and reckless plan got through the regulation then on what ground are you gonna prosecute them?

My opinion on this incident is this:

Innovation Culture of Silicon Valley
The region's many venture capitalists are willing to take risks with new and innovative ideas, and the region's entrepreneurs are eager to experiment and take risks to achieve success.

Also they are not afraid to BREAK THINGS as they find so-called innovative solutions or things in America. Yet, we're quick to dampen these young and yes reckless Rocket scientists due to this mishap to the point of threatening them jail time! Way to go in ACTUALLY destroying these people's dream, zeal, zest and ambitions in trying to create CHINA's answer to Space X. What's more likely to happen if your wish is to be applied some of these folks will go abroad and find success furthering the technological advantages to the U.S.

I say, fine the company and lay the blame on the regulators and not on these aspiring innovators. Creative destruction should not be just used for as a metaphor.

Rocket science? Not exactly brain surgery, is it?

Also, I hope it is not the case here but a lot of times local government act like absolute simps to these types of companies, this kind of practice is a good thing in and of itself but if they went easy on regulations because of it then we have a problem
That's why I lay the blame on officials and not the private company. The company will always push the envelope and it's the job of the gov to say hold up or say f. NO

Reckless. Incompetent. Adjectives not usually attached to rocket scientists. Sabotage? Just food for thought.

Nonsense. It happens when people get a lil too full of themselves, including rocket scientists.

Forgive me folks, but pulling from a non Chinese rocket company to show this does happen and its not just China:

Mala disculpa. Ninguna explicación ni nada. Si lees la carta con atención, puedes ver que también son malos en relaciones públicas.

Incluso dicen que el cohete cayó en la zona segura prevista. ¿Ves? Todo según El Plan, en realidad son competentes jajaja

No se menciona que esto fue pura falta. Si el daño o los escombros hubieran sido un poco mayores, quién sabe, el cohete podría haber perdido por completo el control y haber ido directo a la zona urbana.

Basura dentro basura fuera
Creo que te estás ofreciendo como directora de relaciones públicas. Sí, lo harías muy bien. Deja tu currículum para que te llamen. jajaja
