          Elon Musk was not a rocket scientist either. I am sure those rockets are more complicated than tunnel boring machines.

                    Absolutely right. TBM tunnelling is one of the techniques but it is not the only tunnelling technique. It is not one size fits all solution.

                      Drill & Blast tunnelling is far more harmful to the workers' lungs compared to the TBM tunnelling.
