This (the whole chain of comments stemming from this parent in parent) is as ridiculous as it is entertaining. A lay person asks a question but uses phrasing that could be construed as declarative at first glance and suddenly everyone on HN is a rocket scientist, a SpaceX PR spokesperson, a SpaceX fanboy, or all three. Adorable.
The true irony is that all of the people responding with righteous indignation ( typically a good sign that the speaker has lost their objectivity) are 'defending' SpaceX from the violent attack from a person that is just Wonder if there may be another way to do something. Priceless.
And just to be crass, there are many fucking ways to skin a cat, assuming you get to build the cat, the skin, and the implement(s) to be used.
I'm pretty sure the wizards at SpaceX are ok with people thinking stuff and writing it online. All of you apologists may be better off sitting in quiet contemplation of the place the Crowd takes in literally every story of innovation.
