Although I am new in the business, my team is not. I would say that, person for person, there has never been a better rocket company in existence, in… - Elon Musk

Hope we're not just the biological boot loader for digital superintelligence. Unfortunately, that is increasingly probable

We are used to things improving every year; we are used to having a better cell phone next year than this year; a better lap top. We are even used to some basic things, like we expect more from your car in next year’s model than last year’s model. But this is not the case in space; reliability and cost - those are the fundamental parameters of transportation - have not improved.

So, I think the best analogy for rocket engineers, if you want to create complicated software, you can't run as an integrated whole, or run on the computer it's intended to run on, but, first time you run it, it has to run with no bugs. That's the essence of it. So ... we missed the mark there.
