Please, this is a conversation, not math exam.

If we wanted to be more accurate, we could say that less than 0.00001% of all engineers and professionals told elmu that it was impossible to land a rocket.

That seems less impressive than saying 100%, doesn't it? But hey, this is hacker news, not a math exam, and 100% is pretty much < 0.00001%, lol.

You can check the NASA Spaceflight forums. There was a gloating thread were bets were settled and people called out.

Also the head of ULA said they'd need to do 10 rides of a booster before it makes financial sense to reuse. SpaceX claims it's one

Yeah lol, who cares about this?
