I told you, he thinks he's an engineer.
He's crashing rockets. That's exactly what he's doing.
Try to land a rocket. Giant ball of fire. You figure out what happened. Adjust the engineering. Try again. Repeat until you succeed or run out of money.
Only he's doing it with people.
Which is why engineers should not be allowed to wander around the universe without a keeper.
