I don't understand the criticism. I think it is safe to say the design process at a company like SpaceX is likely to follow best engineering practices.

Yes, that probably means astronauts --as well as other domain experts and stake holders-- are in the design loop.

Is this the final design? Probably not. Any engineer looking at this knows exactly what this is: An evolutionary step towards a solution.

Ease-up folks, you are being given a front seat to a pretty amazing moment in our history: Humans travelling and landing on another planet.

I, for one, can't wait.

I know it's a TV show, but holy crap, we are on our way...
