Quality control mistakes and inadequate testing are unacceptable when you have lives and billions of dollars at stake.

That kind of crap is the difference between the F-22 and the WWII era warplanes. Fly then fix costs lives. So be it.

Fix then fly means you stay on the ground.

I despise that crap. It's institutionalized thinking.

And even with the billions and billions NASA spent on quality control and testing, they managed to kill a lot more folks than Musk has.

It's a dangerous business.

You can do it with a spitfire.

With a system more complicated you end up with mission failure.
