SpaceX's Iterative Approach to Prototyping
31:09 - 34:30 (03:21)
SpaceX's prototype development process involves frequent iteration and the willingness to scrap a design and start over. The company measures progress through replicable explosive yields in early testing phases.

Summary
The speaker talks about the complex process of building at Starbase, where one foot is always in front of someone else's foot, and the arm is not knowing what the leg is doing sometimes. Despite this complexity, they measure the yield of explosive power in a similar way to TNT.
