@HALWithAHat For sure, SpaceX has done irreparable damage to the space industry. It's no longer a question of "how well it works" but "how good would it look on the promotional material". That's what happens when rich guys want to make themselves look smart, even though they are not.

No, this is what happens when your engineers are stupid. “Hey, let’s static fire a rocket with more thrust than the test stand is rated for” And “Let’s build out launch site 500km inland” Are not thoughts that go through western engineers brains and even ignoring regulation.
