To all...theere is complex that is born of KISS, complex in its simplest state.

And then there is complex that ignores KISS which becomes, long term, unmanageable, unreliable and dangerous.

IMO
Your’s is the voice of reason on this thread.

I think you know what you are talking about.

There is a tradeoff between safety and economic reality.

I tend toward safety rather than economy. Loss of lives leads to enormous setbacks....I remember the setbacks from the shuttle disasters.

If the first SpaceX manned launch results in 7 lives lost then commercial space ventures will be set back 20 years. :-(

I wish the rocket was a simpler design....I’m hoping for the best.
