   Doing the suits was a whole different line on the GANTT charts, running   
   in parallel.   
      
   Even Elon notes that developing Dragon and developing Starship are very   
   different ... with people on board from the beginning, you can't be   
   blowing things up.  Also, Dragon is smaller than CST100, with about   
   half the crew, which obviously means that the propulsion system has to   
   be bigger.   
      
   Where Boeing most obviously screwed things up was in software quality   
   control, which is part of what bit them with the 737Max.
