Rest assured, I'm in agreement. I'm just joking that the dude who was the first to use an explosion to leave the planet might have some nerves that needed calming.

A rocket like that has almost zero pilot control.

In fact, for the longest time, astronauts were 100% payload. Now they're 99% payload.
