Nobody here is giving any credit to Musk. Saying "hey this is a nice building, the engineers and architects and builders really did a good job", is not giving any credit to my landlord, we all know he's just a guy with money. Check your reading comprehension. We all hate Musk, he's up there with the worst of the worst, I get it
Yes, this probably could have been done much earlier, and if it was we'd say the same things about the engineers and crew that brought that hypothetical project over the finish line. It's cool to see things progress
edit: also I said proportions not size. Tall shit wants to fall over more than short stubby wide shit
Check your reading comprehension is an unnecessary comment on someone's ability to read, rather than just engaging with the argument at hand. If you feel like someone didn't adequately address your point, you can say that without insulting their intelligence.
So check your comprehension of pig pooping on balls.
I get that I was a little hostile and probably would have chosen a slightly different phrase if I were writing that comment again, but we literally weren't disagreeing, I was just getting yelled past!

Don't shit on talented workers because they have to work for an asshole.

Literally all technology is a progression of already existing technology. I feel like you're being kind of persnickety.

This is needlessly hostile

Absolutely. But the engineers that worked on that project and the engineers that work on the falcon 9 both deserve our praise.
The workers at spacex have done some amazing things despite all the hurdles in their way.
size is absolutely not just a question of scope. there are qualitative differences that emerge from the accumulation of quantative change.
