I don't see the silliness, maybe you can help me.
CUrrently they're averaging, what, max 3 falcons per week, usually in test configuration?
The partnership scope calls for.....~150 launches per week, delivering payload and returning the module.
Trust me, I love space and pushing the frontier at the cost of US dollars, but that is....so significantly far away.
COnsider the boeing 737-8,9,10 MAX. That program is far, far less grandiose in it's delivery scope, has an ancient legacy OEM that is very familiar with regulated contracts w/ the gov, and they can't deliver a plane within 5 years of the expected contract completion to their premier airline partner.
I can be convinced IE; some transparent internal reporting on project lead's current understandings as the project progresses, but there just isn't any statements from SpaceX/Nasa/USGOV on what we can all see with out eyes.
