Back when this incident first happened, there was a few articles posted that day, and someone posted a reply on one of the threads, but I'm too lazy to find it now.
Basically they said they worked at a university research lab where Rush was conducing pressurized testing on the capsule (seals and such). They'd conduct half a dozen tests in one day, have one "success" and Rush's team would call it a "success" and move on to the next test.
i remember seeing something to that effect as well. move fast and break things isnt a bad way to do things, til you put the lives of others on the line. making many iterative designs and testing them mightve proven him right long term, highly unlikely but whatever. instead he went with the first that would never have been safe.
