There’s the stories of college professors who split their class into two groups, one group that is graded on quality of a single photo/pottery submission, and the other group graded solely on quantity of work produced, and the group tasked with producing quantity always produces higher quality.
I guess I don’t see why building a car or rocket would be different, other than we now know how to do it well.
When people were first building rockets, it was just a blooper real of failures.
Is there some distinction along figuring out the theory/physics, versus figuring out the application, real world, material science angle? Like I could see spending a long time on the theory side, but once that’s understood, it seems like figuring out which materials can produce the required physics is quick iteration’s bread-and-butter.
