I understand that, but this type of landing is hundreds of times less safe than a parachute landing or winged landing, because the vertical speeds are so much higher.
When a government safety bureaucrat see’s something like this, they say to themselves “not on my watch”.
Muskateer Kids that think people will be rocketing off to Tokyo by 2027, have not met Joe Biden’s FAA, yet.
Nobody is looking at it that way. This flight is part of the development process. Spacex is using iterative development, meaning the build things and see how they perform, and improve with each version. They weren't flying something they expected to be the final version. This was draft #1, specifically built to make one flight intended to lead to information to improve the design. Everyone involved knows this.
