That's true but it also speaks to the fact that Space X is incredible. Not nearly as bureaucratic and innovating like crazy. The new Raptor engine alone is mind boggling in it's simplicity.

Can you teach me? When you say "The new Raptor engine", do you mean version 3? I needed to read Wiki to learn there are multiple versions. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Raptor#Raptor_3

I wouldn't call it "simplicity". Elegance, maybe. The 3D-printed manifolds are devilishly complicated.
