I think they picked a very hard and complex task, and the hype around it is so high that everyone just assumes they will succeed. The procedure might be unworkable, the engine unreliable, or not reusable enough, tons of things. I think such an ambitious project is always a “maybe” until it’s done. But not in the general perception.
