Stop, just stop. I’m not going to reply to the points I’m unfamiliar with but this crap about SpaceX has to be answered (“someone is wrong on the Internet!”) SpaceX operates what, by reasonable measures, is probably the most reliable launcher in history. That’s the Falcon 9. They are absolutely capable of reliable space operations. Their two test flights of the Starship stack are test flights. Perhaps a better term would be R&D flights. They’re building something way outside the envelope of what’s ever flown before. If they followed the approach taken by big government contractors and/or classic NASA, we might expect them to fly around 2042 after spending many billions of taxpayer dollars. (Exhibit A, SLS). What you see is a company taking risks to advance the state of the art. Be thankful or be ignorant but please, please don’t be loudly and proudly wrong!
