    Not really. It has been communicated very clearly that if there wasn’t a successful starship launch every two weeks by 2022 (I believe that’s the year Elon Musk used?), SpaceX runs the risk of bankruptcy. At this point what they are doing means, that he wasn’t truthful when he said that, or that they are failing unintentionally and downplaying it, or that they are actually very far behind their plans and heading toward bankruptcy.


  • As part of an iterative test programme, many milestones were achieved. Perfection is neither expected nor desired at this stage.

    Sounds reasonable, except for the final bit. It’s just ridiculous to claim that perfection was not desired. Sensors provide the same data, investors will be happier and invest more, clients will gain more trust and spend more. It feels like the excuse some kid would come up with, who is lacking self confidence to stand by their limited success and claimed it was all intentio… oh.
