He does touch it. Remember the obliterated launch pad that also critically damaged his rocket about a year ago? That was him.
Also, SpaceX runs "well" because it got billions of government dollars to get humans to Mars and so far they've been able to blow up a banana over the Indian ocean. Literally. SpaceX has spent all that money and hasn't even hit the first target on a long list of targets.
Think about this: SpaceX has spent more time and government money than NASA did for the Appollo project and what did both do? NASA got the first human to the moon. SpaceX shot a car in low earth orbit, obliterated a launch pad (amongst so much more) and fried a banana over the Indian ocean. Their big rocket managed to hit LEO in an uncontrolled spin until it burned up. Seriously, SpaceX is playing at step one and failing to reach step 2
They do cheer loudly when yet again a rocket blows up. Do you remember all the cheers at NASA when their tickets blew up all the time? Oh yeah, that's right. They had a tiny fraction of the computer power of today and went for the "do it right the first time" and they did.
SpaceX sucks. It's just another Musk toy that peoplem are giving a free pass because reasons.
