Comment Re:The actual SpaceX engineers get no credit (Score 1) 140
There wasn't a single sentence in that article mentioning Musk, let alone giving him credit for this. It was all attributed to SpaceX in general, as it should be.
Building a Raptor a day isn't an individual effort. Back when SpaceX was a small startup building Falcon 1 it was not hard to find articles crediting individual engineers for the work they did, like Tom Mueller, who designed the Merlin engine used on Falcon 1, and lead all the improvements made to for the Falcon 9. But when people try to give him credit for the Raptor he pushes back. To paraphrase (don't have the book in front of me): "I may have made the very initial designs, but it has been reworked so much there is little left for me to take credit for. I assembled a team that has done incredible work on the Raptor - that is all I can take credit for." There are literally thousands of people working on Raptor at this point. Crediting it to any individuals would be a misattribution.
