Very fair and true. There are some of the world's most brilliant people doing that work, history making stuff. I wouldn't want to diminish their effort. At the enterprise level, in terms of how tf do you build a space company when at the time there weren't too many examples and virtually no examples of non-major-contractor launch providers, especially with an indigenous system. The fact that she took them through that totally unknown terrain, giving the rest of the brilliant minds the runway they needed to create something wholly new, that deserves a lot more public attention than perhaps she gets.
But again, I agree with you. It takes a village of geniuses.
