Next they're going to explode when they come down. Has this been

This is engineering development at its finest. Simulation only gets you
so far.
SpaceX is working an incredibly complicated problem. Weight versus fuel
and thrust. The materials are also a serious complication as the
temperature of outer space is extremely variable from cryogenic to hot
(the unfiltered Sun shining on parts).

In the early days of the U.S. space program there were numerous
spectacular failures.
BTW there must be a factory where a huge amount activity is going on to
build all the boosters, etc. What I found wasn't too informative:
