    It’s extremely premature to celebrate something which hasn’t been shown to work in its intended application, nor at the original specs.

      Given the original specs are the kinds of numbers Musk pulls out of his behind, I wouldn’t expect it to anytime soon.

      It’s certainly an achievement of SpaceX engineering what they can do despite his constant meddling.
