Well, I have some bad news. Starship isn't following the Falcon 9 development philosophy.

Starship is literally a boondoggle project by a space company that was the new kid on the block and now has the same hubris as the old kids on the block.

Nothing about the Starship development process is remotely close or has any similarity to Falcon 9.

Starship SpaceX is "old space".

The Falcon 9 philosophy was as follows: Make it work, then push the envelope and learn from the failures.

The Starship philosophy: Let's set ourselves ambitious goals that push the envelope from the start. Partial success is a failure. The cathedral must be finished before we can launch the first customer payload.

Hint: SpaceX doesn't want to cannibalize their cash cow Falcon 9. Typical old company thinking.
