Fair enough.
I was making a commentary more of what I see the difference between NASA vs SpaceX's approach today. I wasn't around for Apollo, and given their crazy compressed timeframe for getting to the moon back then, there must have been some agility there....
I was really agreeing with the previous commenter, which I guess is a statement about today, and not how NASA operated in the 1960s...
> SpaceX learns by doing, not by years of expensive analysis that ends up not preventing failure anyway.
My mistake for invoking the Agile vs Waterfall debate... (and potentially being wrong!)
