Their mission is to enable safe spaceflight. We cannot give up on the safety side, but could there be a little bit more emphasis on the enable side?

Maybe if SpaceX hadn't just destroyed a launch pad and the surrounding area I would be more sympathetic.

Space X was also very slow in getting the required report to the agency to review. Perhaps Space X should have done a better job there instead of rushing ahead to the next launch.
