Boom, it only needs to be dropped once or twice, for the whole scheme to be rendered ridiculous. This is like celebrating the catch of a cricket ball. Yes the concept was proven as possible, maybe impressing investors, making them very happy to pay out, like bookies, but the practicality, only time will tell, and the result has to be eventually not good.
Elon: "I tell you I can catch this ball, just watch". Bookie investor: "Go on then, show us you can catch the ball". The ball is caught, and the bookies cheer and pay out, but everyone misses what is being sold, the concept of doing it every time sucessfully, indefinitely, maybe even with people on board.
