More of this. Blathering on about Starship development phase, with its completely expected and normal failures. All concerned because there's "something that hasn't been done before" involved.

Falcon 9 did lots of things "never done before", but.. well, that's OK because with hindsight it's all sensible.

What I'm seeing here is, and now it appears to me in the prior post possibly, is that someone you don't like(Musk) is resulting in this negativity.

It is entirely possible to dislike someone's history, or personality, or politics, whilst at the same time not denigrating their successes. Or attempting to derail their technical work.

NASA has been losing delivery dates forever. Other private sector suppliers have as well. Making a big deal out of this specific instance, seems strange.

No, I'm not endorsing the current administration. But neither am I the prior. After all, everything was late with the prior admin too.

Sometimes? It's not about politics.
