Crew dragon was designed by smart minds.

Those smart minds have mostly left spacex now, since musk changed political sides and became much less 'cool' for the brightest to work at.

That's why the company is struggling now - few smart minds means little progress.

Tom Mueller, Chris Thompson, Hans Koenigsmann, Tim Buzza etc have all left.

Makes sense - they had been there ~20 years and must have a huge pile of stock.

But due to musks political aura (mostly right leaning), the smart minds from universities(which are mostly left leaning) are no longer joining spacex en-mass.

In turn, that means the companies are merely ticking along, not racing ahead.
