Willing to give them more time but gotta admit I’m not impressed by Falcon.
I take a back seat to no one in my admiration of Neil Armstrong and the job he did landing Eagle on the surface of the moon.
Neil Armstrong was almost literally a superman. He was the product of a rigorous selection program. Among test pilots he was superstar, similar in talent level to an Olympic athlete or a Carnegie Hall level musician.
That said, Cdr. Armstrong didn't have to deal with wind as he approach the moon, and the lunar surface wasn't pitching and rolling as he did so. Also, the center of gravity of Eagle was much closer to the spacecraft's landing plane than was the SpaceX rocket.
But no doubt in my mound that Neil Armstrong was an amazing pilot, an amazingly good master of man-in-the-loop control systems, of which he had been a designer if I'm not mistaken.
Well, I think we both agree he’d have handled all that too... and arm wrestled his co-pilot at the same time.
I assume it’s cheaper to lose the vehicle than to test components thoroughly enough. I mean adding, say, a grand in testing to the cost of every hundred dollar part is something only human life justifies.
