Elon Musk and his promises

More specifically he predicated SpaceX would be able to launch people in 2024 with arrival in 2025

Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.
I wonder why.
