/sci/ - Science & Math

I got an insight today. If the ITS/BFR/Starship program was a NASA program, not just the media but most people including me would attack it all the time. There would be so much indignation, spiteful comments and jokes and it would be seen as a fail story. So many design changes, so many things that didn't work out. "They are burning taxpayers' money". "How could [random design change or fail] ever happen, are they doing any calculations or planning at all?".
Now given this is not NASA and no politics and taxpayers' money are involved, everyone sees one and the same story from a completely different perspective. There are so many fanboys seeing this as the biggest success story ever. People are happy for any little thing that works out ("omg they stacked another ring") and get no negative feelings from all the failures/design changes. They actually also gain joy from these:
>they found this [weakness / design flaw /stupidity] out early and that's good
>"the [design change] makes sense and is even better

Just an insight I wanted to share. NASA has no chance to be as innovative as SpaceX or Blue Origin because of your hatred.
