Most people do not have exposure to rocket ship construction. Building construction yes to a certain extent, they can see a building go up. Most don't watch a rocket ship being designed or manufactured.

The only conception, which I think is the one you are referring to, is that things often take longer than announced.

Those aren't the same things. Ciao.

Wasn't really clear you were talking about that when you only talked about the timeframe it would take to get to space. It sounded like you were saying people don't know how long it took us to get to space last time.
