One giant advantage for SpaceX is the sheer amount of data being transmitted via Starlink for diagnosis. This seems to have shortened the duration of previous reviews. I assume that Blue Origin and others also have far more bandwidth available than was the case in the last millennium.

There have been FAA investigations after many of the SpaceX Starship test flights. Also a few by NASA. I have yet to hear credible concerns about their integrity.

Gaiman’s behavior rightfully should be called out and current and potentially future works revisited in light of his personal life. But, I will be the first to admit that the impact on Good Omens season 3 is very painful. Sheen and Tennent have excellent chemistry and deserve far better.
