I work in Space Planning, and sometimes we encourage our clients to prototype areas of their space for better usage, and I know in small product design or computer science design thinking and iterating makes sense, but I just don’t understand why that needs to happen at the level Space X is working at… Especially since it’s not really like NASA iterated in the same way? Unless I’m mistaken…

I’m all for progress, but just a little confused why constantly blowing up rockets is needed. Plus… They can’t even get the basics of getting into space correct? Surely they should be able to get that part down without needing to iterate?

Disclaimer: I’m not trying to say space X is a fail, I just don’t understand why they’ve adopted a design thinking esque model to their program but also can’t get the basics right
