  • God this title is so dumb.

    Yes, fuck Elon Musk. That doesn’t mean Starship isn’t still the most exciting topic in rocketry/spaceflight, and 100x more ambitious than what any other rocket manufacturer is attempting.

    The Starship development cycle is hardware-rich, they have a literal conveyor belt full of rockets in various stages of completion for testing.

    Their immediate goal isn’t to go to orbit, they could have done that a long time ago. They’re simultaneously testing hundreds of little to big changes to the vehicles with every launch. Stuff will go wrong along the way.
