This article is a great idea, but I think it relies too much on the headings to convey information and it could use much better examples.
The result is a vague article that could be vastly improved by driving home the point after each example.
For example:
> People want vastly cheaper prices launching stuff into orbit and deep space, ya know?
That's the entire text under the example heading.
This doesn't tell me why specifically SpaceX isn't a viable lean startup idea, nor does it tell me what happens if I go ahead anyway and try to build a lean startup around it. Nor does it say specifically what model SpaceX is or isn't using instead.
There are actually way too many Elon Musk ventures in this article. I get the same feeling reading about these companies as a get reading about Apple. Unique in just about every way, and probably not applicable to what you're doing.

Nor does it say specifically what model SpaceX is or isn't using instead. Alright sure. SpaceX would make a bad lean startup because the main hypothesis they were trying to validate is whether it was feasible for a private US company to launch things to space using an affordable system, and the scrappiest possible way to validate that still required tons of effort and burning $100M+.
