    When this thing flies back to earth autonomously i hope it either goes perfectly or totally disintegrates, because right now it’s in the weird gray area of “is it an unsafe vehicle or are the issues just normal kinks to work out”

      I debate stuff like this with the work crew a lot. The consensus is ‘accidentally’ burning up is the safest thing for everyone. I’ll be absolutely amazed if they even attempt a landing, as that means they’ve gone against all good advice, political and actual.
