Real quotes from both Nasa and Elon Musk...
Gene Kranz
You do understand that Kranz said that right after NASA had the mother of all failures in orbit, right?
You don't know your space program history well. We blew up a LOT of rockets before Saturn, and lost two more shuttles after that, along with numerous smaller launches. For every one we lost, the Soviets lost 10.
Falcon 9 had a gestation period that was arguably even worse than Starship. Now it is one of the most reliable platforms available. The Japanese blew up one of theirs 5 seconds off the pad just last week due to a guidance failure. Space be hard. Elon's head is harder, and I thank him for it.

You're talking to someone who's spent time in Nasa headquarters in the past year and has his own "Try SCE to Aux" t-shirt....

Even worse, Ed Harris said it. Gene Kranz adopted the phrase post Apollo 13 movie.
