The difference between poker and rockets is we still have a lot to learn about rockets, and making them and trying to use them can teach you new things, even if they blow up. There is nothing new to learn in poker. This is why, if you watch a poker tournament on TV, they can give the odds of each hand winning after each step of the hand being played.
We know a lot about rockets. They were able to build rockets that launch reliably in the 1960s. Rockets are a difficult engineering challenge, but its one we understood half a century ago.
We aren’t learning anything about rocketry when elon blows up another rocket. All we’re learning about is the depths of both his pockets and his ineptitude.
