Translation
By AT THIS MOMENT, I meant this year, the next, and the next. The rocket keeps exploding, disintegrating, spinning out of control. So, reliability is something that you can only state when you have several successes in a row. Two or three successful launches may not be enough.
Why are you concerned about the design?

For the same reason you'd not want to put an astronaut on it. It's not as reliable as I expected and there could be some fundamental design flaws.

Knowing Musk. IF there is a basic design flaw, which, if I am reading you correctly, would mean almost re-design from scratch, do you think that this is possible? The financial losses would be immense, and it is hard to see the project going forward without some big changes at the top.

It would be a huge setback for sure. SpaceX is highly profitable (Falcon 9), but all the magic would be gone if this project can't meet its promise.
