If you see the multiple orders of magnitude reduction in cost to launch satellites we've seen recently, as a result of reusing landable rocket stages, how can you been so bearish on physical engineering improvements?
Even computing advancements are technically a physical engineering triumph, taking the form of increased precision in chip creation.
