Yes. Given their very ambitious goals with this project, they are doing just fine.

The next launch may not fly the full mission profile either, but it will most likely go further than this one.

I think they are striking an excellenet balance between caution and progress. The government (and to a lesser degree big public aerospace companies) are conservative to a fault, taking years or decades of delays in development and spending hundreds of millions (or more) polishing the apple to a fine gloss before daring to light the candle. Why? Because of the bad public optics of exploding rockets, and political/bureaucratic ramifications.

SpaceX history with their commercially operational launch systems bears this out. They literally turned the entire industry on it's ear with low costs and reusable vehicles.

If you don't like Elon, I suppose there's always boeing space systems... taking Max design philosophy to new heights
