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.

This is the most important part.

The end.
