@AkaSci I've been following and supporting SpaceX for a long time, but this "move fast and break things" is showing itself up. Iterative development is cool, but looking at the slower pace of Ariane and New Glenn, well you have to wonder if the ends justify the means.
"Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs", they say. Well I'm treading on a lot of eggshells and I'm still hungry.

Ok, so time for #introductions! Space enthusiast since I was a kid, child of the Space Shuttle era. Rekindled my interest with the X Prize flights in 2004, then SpaceX achievements.
Now a dad of an aspiring space doctor.Main interest is *how* we live in space, as individuals, teams, communities and societies. Space will change us, and so the areas I find most interesting are Space Architecture and Anthropology.
