Default Op-ed campaign smearing SpaceX uncovered

I'll admit the "load and go" gives me pause, but honestly, if you can't
trust the process in the first place, you've got a bigger issue. You should
have a process that's safe to fuel rockets, regardless of whether there are
astronauts on board or not.


NASA has looked at this and come to the conclusion that 'load and go'
is actually probably safer than fueling and then putting astronauts
in, given SpaceX procedures and hardware.
