HOW SPACEX BUILDS PRODUCTS FOR THE UNIVERSE

Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

SpaceX's complex aerospace systems require significant investment and rigorous testing before reaching the market. Unlike software, where an MVP can be quickly tested, SpaceX commits to multi-million-dollar designs years before space testing. SpaceX follows an agile product development approach, which consists of an iterative design process, parallel development, frequent product iteration, embracing change, and extensive use of simulations and virtual testing.
