What do you mean, the warhead (the reentry body) or the last stage? Because the warhead is passive.

I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but... people who work on scientific computing or engineering and value their time choose Matlab and Mathematica over Python. Source: I've used Matlab and Python extensively, Mathematica a li

Exactly I have seen, and been into, similar organizations with just as talented people, who just didn't go anywhere due to poor leadership.

No! We haven't! I'm nitpicking but we saw the upper stage prototype. Besides, I believe their landing method is to catch the booster with the mechazilla which should be quite a show.

Ayep. Well said. It could be but it isn't yet. However SpaceX does have a good track record in that regard.

Precisely. "Oh poor guy, he's not so bad with the bs altruism, it's just all the evil cryptos who want him to take the fall"

Yes, because unlike an simple average you have a model for both what you are trying to measure and the measurement. For example, one basic model for your example could be if you are trying to measure a constant with some initial uncertainty
