During prototype tests you don't have to target 6-sigma, obviously, but I hope we get a post-mortem without spin.

When their entire business depends on very carefully managing their PR, you're not going to get a public post-mortem without spin.

If a government regulator runs the investigation, you might. I don't know if a regulator's going to get involved in this, though.

That is simply wrong. Their business depends on reliably launching rockets and delivering payloads to station. And that is what they have done.

They are not going to. Starship is a SpaceX project that is not financed by NASA or the DoD.

You really think this? My perception is that their PR is fairly blunt and upfront. while they may not tell you everything they dont seem to be trying to "spin" anything
