Disclaimer: These are estimates. SpaceX is still performing orders of magnitude better than traditional programs. Starship is fraction next to NASA's dev. But if building next gen hardware gets pricier, we are innovating in reverse. Reindustrializing demands flipping this trend.

Not achievements but speed of development is what matters. I got curious how Starship’s development speed stacks up against Falcon. Surprisingly, Starship isn’t clearly faster. It made me wonder: What metrics does SpaceX use to measure development speed?
