  Falcon 9 (the only rocket they actually sell launches on) is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world.

    I mean you’re right in a sense, but usually when I iterate on a design it gets better not worse.

      I think it’s not fair to say that iteration doesn’t ever include any steps back. Development isn’t always straightforward and it doesn’t always go perfectly.

        Are the cars shitty, or are they ranked 3rd?
