I was initially confused and not sure why you were adding lots of extra parts to the analogy which complicate the process of analogizing by overloading the human prompt window, but then I realized that the analogy was specifically trying to get across the idea of there being loads of specific engineering things to work out as well as general principles (which seems true and useful, but should be captured early on in a tl;dr with the blog post mostly for people who want a deep dive into rocketry history).
I think this was a fair attempt, but missed the costs to easy understanding of loading up large amounts of context (names and dates and numbers and loads of specifics) without making it clear what these were for.
