    They’re simultaneously testing hundreds of little to big changes to the vehicles with every launch. Stuff will go wrong along the way.

    If that results in their rockets exploding, perhaps they should not be allowed to do this? That’s not how science is performed.

    Exploding rockets are not exactly friendly to nature or people.

      Starship is not a science project. No scientific breakthroughs are made or expected. It is an engineering project. And this is exactly how that is performed.

      Also, how many people crashed how many planes before the Wright brothers managed to achieve powered flight ?
