Is it not extremely impressive that this thing survived re-entry with multiple missing tiles and holes burnt through the control surfaces?
The entire space shuttle exploded due to a cracked tile.
Seems like the superiority of a stainless steel airframe over aluminium or composite is totally validated.

steel is also much heavier, it's too heavy actually (see "eager space" on youtube)

When a hole burns trough your control surfaces, it didn't survive.

Space travel is dangerous. NASA said they expected more than 2 shuttle disasters.

Didn't everyone think that submarine guy was a genius too. Until he exploded. Notice how Elon is smart enough to never ride in one of his rockets? For a guy so obsessed with space, why doesn't he ever want to go? None of you ever wonder? Branson and Bezos both rode their rockets as a point of pride and proof of concept. Musk not so much....but hey spend big on the Space X IPO next year.

Reentry is only difficult because spaceships choose to just lunge through the upper atmosphere
It would be much easier just with a few retrorockets

How many times has Elon rode the Crew Dragon? Why won't he ride in it? The most space obsessed person on the globe....won't go into space...on the "totally safe and totally ground breaking" rocket....make it make sense. Like how stupid can you literal fucking NPC retards be? I mean the man has spent how many years and billions of space, never been to space!

You're at the youth in wisdom where nan wipes you ass. You think the jobs at the top are for your petty dream or that you should be served max intellect just so you can leave and start afresh. Or that you exist as a challenge to leaders rather than they were selected carefully and are 100% effective, and your position with them is to follow their lead. You're looking at advanced governance here.

Spaceflight isn't done with weapons(roggets). It's done with technology.
