Delete Parts and Processes

if a design is taking too long, the design is wrong

and therefore, the design must be modified

to accelerate progress. And one of the most fundamental errors made

in advanced development is to stick to a design

even when it is very complicated,

and to not strive to delete parts and processes.

-Elon Musk

After Elon Musk gave his presentation about the progress of SpaceX's Starship program, I had the opportunity to pick his brain just a little. In general I wanted to let him talk a lot and see where his mind went, but luckily for us aerospace enthusiasts, I got a little juicy extra bit of conversation at the end.
