>In December 2017, Musk tweeted that the dummy payload on the maiden Falcon Heavy launch would be his personal Tesla Roadster playing David Bowie's "Space Oddity" (though the song actually used for the launch was "Life on Mars"), and that it would be launched into an orbit around the Sun that will reach the orbit of Mars.[40][41] He released pictures in the following days.[42] The car had three cameras attached to provide "epic views".[9]

>Then, in 2018, Musk unveiled yet another design (and the Starship name): a sleek, stainless-steel spacecraft with three tail fins that would stand taller than its 2017 precursor, with a height of 387 feet (118 m). The spacecraft would still be powered by six Raptor engines, with up to 37 Raptors powering the booster (now called Super Heavy).

manufacturing cost is probably significantly cheaper, mass fraction might be worse but not as bad as you might think just comparing strength to weight in normal temperatures
steel keeps good strength to weight from cryogenic temperatures into very hot ones during re-entry, so I guess it might be possible that steel is ultimately lighter
but its going to be cheaper and easier to work with guaranteed

Almost certaintly no-they didn't even realize how expensive or time consuming it would be to develop a triple core booster. Dragon 2 propulsive landing (NASA played a hand in this one), Red Dragon and F9 second stage reuse all got canned.

These birds are almost too stupid to live. When I was working in Texas, one decided to nest in a median next to our parking lot. They had to put up a fence around it so people wouldn't step on the nest if they cut through the median on the way to the building. The bird was not afraid of people and let you get awfully close. It was cute but in that helpless way.
I don't know how how they survive with nesting on the ground, seems like all of their eggs would be eaten.

I remember arguing with some fag a few weeks ago about booster turnaround times and said they could make the filling of propellants faster by just upgrading the pumps and so on
I don't see why they couldn't keep making it faster if they need to, its almost half an hour to fill up the already, how fast do they really even need to be?

Precision guidance is actually very difficult technology (think US military INS). China basically has two options: do things semi-safely (don't hit big targets) and actually get launch cadence + capacity up or develop things safely and slowly.

dV of going directly to mars will always be less than going somewhere else first.
Therefore more refuelings. The exact numbers don't change the argument.

How does the fuel get into this high lunar orbit cheaply enough to even be worth considering?
A reusable lander that goes from the surface to that orbit and back.
That would need huge amounts of dV therefore cost.

Okay, but making a mascot for some fucking prefecture (many such examples), or making a cartoon about train stations in Chiba (actual example) or making a rocket that you could run on methane from cow shit as a publicity stunt although it would be massively more expensive than just using LNG (this case) don't actually allocate money for that area. They get "publicity" and that's it.
They're equally self-interested, but this is also ineffective.

It should have been cancelled the moment ESA selected EnVision. Both of them are radar missions in the same timeframe, they will even share an instrument. The ESA mission is better overall. A3 Venus missions all selected at the same time, right when phosphine story was at its peak. And now it's gone away.
Or better yet, keep VERITAS and have ESA pick THESEUS instead.

If you load Starship full of paying customers, you can pack them really densely and make more profit, then dock with a massive cycler that has sufficient resources for the trip.

I no longer believe that anything is happening until it's actually happening. Always expecting a delay, no matter what the thing is

Retired whistleblower found dead days after testifying in his car from "self-inflicted wound".
Guess Boeing rolled out of bed for that one.

Isn't the problem with Boeing that they're "too big to fail"? Who would replace them?

SpaceX for rockets
For airplanes, there's plenty of room for disruption today

There is no problem with Boeing other than greedy capitalist managers. Diversity is our strength. Pajeet is doing the job whitoids won't do.

Exactly, so considering American interests it can't be allowed to fail unless it can be replaced. But that means there are no checks on its performance, efficiency or kill count.
