SpaceX Catches Booster But Loses Ship in Starship Test Flight
SpaceX's seventh flight test of its massive Starship launch system brought both thrilling advancements and unexpected challenges. Notably, the Super Heavy booster successfully returned to the launch site and was caught by the launch tower's "chopstick" arms, while the upper stage, known as Ship 33, experienced a critical failure during its ascent.

So, to make it clear, your criticism of SpaceX is that they are trying to do stuff that is too hard, and they shouldn't try?
Because yes, that may be warranted. But I don't think they are betting the farm on it.
But also, that's because of capitalism somehow?
I've made my point. If you don't get it by now, I have tickets to see the titanic if you're interested.
