Show Notes

The recent SpaceX Starship test launch has important implications for space exploration. Is the media focusing too much on the negatives, such as the explosion, and overlooking the intricate process and the efforts made by thousands of skilled individuals?

The iterative, rapid improvement process that SpaceX utilizes is clearly working as shown by remarkable achievements of the Falcon 9 rockets. It is important to acknowledging the hard work behind it, and the competence of professionals.
