mekkaokereke, 🤔How can people just ignore material science, and call it "experimental?" Like using carbon fiber for a submarine (Ocean gate), or not having a heat and noise suppression system for a rocket launch pad (SpaceX)?
I see this as different than building a spaceship without a heat shield (Scaled Composites, Virgin Galactic). Because Scaled Composites had a (correct!) theory that didn't require ignoring the properties of the materials.
