What is the actual point of telling people to not be excited about watching technological progress happening in front of their very eyes..? It's certainly not to temper expectations that things may take longer than people expect (because it certainly shouldn't take _that_ many words to say something so simple).. does it just make you feel smart or something?

> This perception is mixed with a more dangerous one that the Starship is in a league of its own. It's not. Blue Origin's work and approach may be superior in the long run, as they're designing mission specific vehicles that are optimised to their context.

Has Blue Origin even gotten a rocket into orbit yet?
