Are you serious? They just launched a completely revamped version of Starship from an entirely new pad, and still hit almost all of their planned milestones while demonstrating that the design is reliable enough to handle a missing engine.

Go back and look at the original plans and projections. Constantly redesigning is not something to be proud of. I call it vibe spaceship design.

Two successful test missions over 15 years using a dead end rocket and ship design for $50+ billion is not something to be proud of either. Starship is so far beyond where the rest of the world is that even if it takes another 3 years of iteration to perfect it will still be by far the best rocket in the world for many years afterward.
