I would say those engineers work at full tilt every day. I don't see the point of attacking those guys before any explanation is provided by the company. I'm not going to knock them at this point.

It is important that this rocket is still in testing, and that Musk clearly understands that iteration with marginal improvements is a key element of the process. It would be cool if you could just launch the first time and it was all good, but you certainly comprehend that the forces at work are intense and varied, and perhaps not always predictable. So, they'll find out the facts on this in due course.


I think they're doing a great job in all respects. I think Feynman would agree that the testing process, at SpaceX, thus far, has fulfilled its challenge. In fact, I would say the same about Tesla (although some might argue the original design of the Cyber Truck wasn't that inspired (I predict a comeback of the sharp edges in a more eye-appealing outwardly appearance is in its future).
