    Yeah but to get from here to a 99.99% reliability is a very very long way

      Look at the Falcon rocket history. They started out at a very similar point, though at a smaller scale. And yet now they are comfortably human rated. They have landed the last 171 times in a row without fail, with another one coming this evening to add to that incredible number.

      The guy at the helm is a terrible person, but this does not discredit the absolutely insane progress they have made.
