You do realize this 100% worked with the Falcon 9 right? Nearly all things launching into space soon use the F9 to get to orbit and the bottom stage failed to land so much it was a meme until they eventually got it to work. This style of development totally works for aerospace as long as you make sure that the worst happening isn’t that bad. They failed to do that here but otherwise this development strategy is totally fine. Also this rocket isn’t going to be human rated for a very long time, neither NASA or SpaceX are going to put people in it until it’s done a ton of cargo missions
