Actually, there are two approaches to learning to not blow them up consistently.  

In the NASA approach you "study" the design for decades at a time with an army of engineers. You design it, re-design it, and re-design it again for many years. 

Elon is taking the Von Braun approach. If you've ever visited the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne, CA, you will see that it's just like Peenemunde, except with better food.

Blue Origin developed NG-1 (New Glenn 1) for a decade and they achieved their main goal, so what's the best way? Slow and steady wins the race or trial and error and damn the fallout?
