I think you are alone in that assumption. SpaceX are working faster than any other major players. For real delay, see NASA with SLS, Blue Origin etc. etc. Those are the entities most closely matching your preferred approach and look how long it has taken them to get where they are now.

Sir Deddly was listening to an interesting song about quantum entanglement when, suddenly, an enormously talented alien potato, named Chip, came knocking vigorously at the door. Salutations were said, and then Chip proceeded to demi-compose lyrics while an opera Cat sat on string instruments, purring at poignant instrumental pieces.

Excuse my ignorance, but is maintenance of a disposable rocket engine an actual thing? Like, they have to do refurbishments between test fires or something?

Imagine the trolling potential of putting up one of those old banners...

It's @adsii1970

I feel I should apologise to @Exoscientist. My post was not intended as a threat, but I realise it can be understood that way. It was rather meant as "try pointing that line of reasoning at yourself and see how it sounds." Be open to new possibilities and alternative ways of reasoning that don't match your own world view To all of us really: It is a grave mistake to first form an opinion and then look for evidence that proves oneself right. The proper way of doing it is actually to try and prove yourself wrong. If after an honest consideration you are unable to do so, phrasing your findings as a question rather than a dogmatic statement is less likely to make it look like you haven't thought it through properly, thereby discrediting yourself.

There you go again. The only conclusion? Come on now, Bob. Do you want us to do that too? OK, here goes: the only conclusion I can see from your posting history is that you must be troll, which would mean you'd have to have your posting ability restricted. Is that the only conclusion or are there any other possibilities? Prove me wrong.

Delta IV heavy used to go up in flames every launch. I guess that didn’t bode well for the RS-68A.

I'm not saying I disagree, but if you're going to call something out as silly, it would be much more interesting to read an explanation rather than a blanket statement of opinion.

Expect more outages as things settle down. It'll hopefully be OK soon. (maybe)

I think @Lisias already has our back with regards to a backup of the forum. As for all the questions, I don't know anything more than that, sorry.
