And some cheer lead too much for SpaceX.

Just because SpaceX has great image and people have confidence it will
deliver on what it promises does not mean that it has already delivered.


OK, I was being polite. Now I will be less so. You're a ****ing
idiot who is ignorant of the facts and can't retain them when they are
given to you. After two years of developmental test (2014-2015) Musk
predicted the success rates for both experimental test (2016 - 70%
predicted vs 63% achieved; one more success would have been 75%) and
operational use (2017 - 90% predicted vs 100% achieved so far) with
pretty astonishing accuracy. You don't do that on "not enough data"
and if it was 'just lucky guesses' he should be buying lottery tickets
to fund SpaceX. That's not cheerleading. That's the bloody facts,
which you seem to be immune to.

SpaceX declared landing the first stage 'operational' as of this year
and has started commercially offering reflown boosters as an option
(first commercial launch in March of this year). Again, that's the
FACTS, you ignorant assclown.
