Hopefully they're not phased by this.

- Kye 6y agoI get cynical about people sometimes, but I have to believe the average person can understand the difference between a bleeding edge test and the launch of a proven system. They don't stop driving when someone dies trying to break the land speed record. I don't see a PR problem.
