This is not evidence to the contrary, especially when the company is intentionally trying to find the limits on a development article.

Falcon 9 (the only rocket they actually sell launches on) is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world.

I mean you’re right in a sense, but usually when I iterate on a design it gets better not worse.

[–] cole@lemdro.id 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it's not fair to say that iteration doesn't ever include any steps back. Development isn't always straightforward and it doesn't always go perfectly.

Well, I did say usually. Regressions happen. I’m just being sarcastic because I don’t like Nazi-owned enterprises. /me shrugs

Here are two Toyota vehicles randomly bursting into flames. Toyota makes shitty cars (ranked 3rd most reliable by consumerreports.org, btw). https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/who-makes-the-most-reliable-cars-a7824554938/

Are the cars shitty, or are they ranked 3rd?

repeating the same thing does not make your point stronger
