is analogous to building part of an airplane in a factory and part of the airplane on the runway. You can imagine that's a pretty expensive way to split the construction so the fact that we can just do the entire integrated rocket, transport it as a single unit, that definitely reduces costs.

The factory is the machine that builds the machine.

You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.

Our approach has been to take no chances whatsoever.

Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that.

If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
