Canon

Senra argues that SpaceX's technical achievements are downstream of organizational design: Musk created an environment where failure is cheap, iteration is fast, and bureaucracy is minimal. The environment produces the innovation.
Senra observes that reusable rockets were theoretically possible for decades but became practically possible only when computing power, materials science, and propulsion technology converged around 2010. Musk's luck was entering at this inflection point.
