lol the US can't even maintain actually existing roads and bridges. There's no chance of building some modern massive sea wall in dozens of population centers around the US.
It was a moon orbiting capsule, not a lander. It was scrubbed (a very common occurrence for spacecraft) due to an engine temperature anomaly, not failed, and I think it was pretty much entirely SpaceX's rivals in the ULA et al, who, to be fair, are just as bad in a slightly different direction. I'm not aware of any major SpaceX equipment being used on Artemis.
SpaceX can't even get its moon rocket into space yet. Which is gonna be an issue soon since the NASA lander is supposed to be a moon-variant of Starship
anybody remember the huge seawalls in Bladerunner 2049? we're never building that shit
love it when my dystopian sci-fi isn't pessimistic enough

what if enormous kaiju started coming through an interdimensional breach under the ocean
that's a problem that can maybe be handled by giving money to defense contractors, why build wall when you can waste military hardware
Yeah I remember that from The Expanse too.

Apparently SpaceX was involved in the failed moon lander launch yesterday.

Not much in the west. China has a space program though and its really going places. they just launched their own space station and space telescope.

i think they might do it on the chesapeake and possibly new york harbor but literally nowhere else despite extremely amenable existing geography
just casually having the longest protected coastlines in the world and abandoning them for worship of the dollar
