is that part of the reason the landing explosion was so impressive?

yeah, he's done his research and is actually pretty fluent when answering questions on stream. While part of his behavior might be a bit "onions" overall it probably appeals to normies etc. His raptor video was unironically great in how it made a complex topic digestible for new people. He's overall a net positive for spaceflight I feel, and his success will inspire more people to get into the field at large.

I love how spacex is making that "use the most difficult/expensive tech all the time for the hell of it" approach look stupid. Humans just don't seem to do well with infinite funding and time. They need constraints to get their asses on gear. I feel that part of SpaceX's success if BECAUSE they're frugal and operate at a breakneck pace. They don't give themselves time to overthink themselves to death

it's potentially big enough to warrant delaying the Starship 2020 update
