Replicating someething that was achieved by the Soviets in 1961
is hardly a milestone in human development.
Also, I'd be interested to hear from an Amazon warehouse hand about their intimate involvement and personal investment in turning some guy into spacespunk.

The Soviets put Gagarin in orbit. First try. Straight to orbit.

A superpower government put a government working into orbit.
(worker*) That tin can he was in never did anything afterwards.
This is a private company, taking civilians into space, in a reusable rocket vehicle, as a potentially viable long-term commercial endeavour. It's a completely different milestone.

"Tin can" lol
When you have to disparage the previous milestones to prove this milestone is actually a milestone then you might be struggling a bit

Why do you interpret that as disparaging?
It's a descriptive term... it was a disposable metal container. It is in no way disparaging of the milestone, but is comparing the primitiveness of the early vehicle with the sophistication of a modern one.
Have you ever actually engaged in a discussion in good faith? Yet again you've picked on a totally irrelevant aspect of your oppositions argument, instead of actually addressing the content therein.
Stop with the straw man and learn to steel man.

Apart from the equipment tests and launches that included animals
Also, though by now probably far less likely, some may not have survived attempts
