> Boeing follows a traditional model for aerospace development: they design, simulate, and analyze every component and possible failure
The "mistakes are not allowed" model is not the traditional model of aerospace development. The iterative approach is also the traditional approach. The Apollo missions used "all-up testing" to find issues early. Before that Von Braun had used a prototype-rich approach to build working rockets.
SpaceX is a return to tradition, not a break with the past.
