    You literally said you were concerned for manned flight in your last comment. So originally it was the rocket and engineering you were concerned about.

      I said I was concerned because of the corner cutting, which isn't an engineering problem

        That might’ve been what you intended but it is not what you said. You didn’t bring that up until your 2nd comment.

      You're oh so slightly twisting the dude's words. What he said was:

      Which is why I'm nervous for when they decide to start doing manned flights.

      This could be expressing concern about the flights themselves, or about something that happens around the time the decision to start doing manned flights is taken - like cutting corners that leads to employees getting injured.

      Dude even clarified what he meant, and you're like "nope, I won't accept that"?
