Why would we blame that on him?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because, if i remember right, he's the one who suggested the modification to the system on a tour with Elon.

Specifically he asked if they were only using hot gas thrusters on the booster, and I guess Elon thought why not use them for both.

He suggested using hot gas thrusters on the ship which seem to have failed.
