There is no part of space travel that is easy. Do not so easily dismiss the challenge. Nor demean the progress SpaceX has made to solving those challenges. The starship has no near-peer competitor.
This test got further than the prior test and nothing unexpected was lost.
I'm no fan of Musk, and I'm not a big fan of SpaceX, but credit where credit is due, they are bringing progress and leading an industry that was once very stagnant.
