>>1800574>but I still have reservations over the mechanical parts running fine/qa working outThe ascent phase of every flight theyve had with the raptor has been nominal.
>I know that SX wrecked a lot of Falcons getting the platform downpat and are now reaping the rewards, but I also don't think there will be much patience for the same occurring with Starship HLS.Everything they learned from that testing they will apply to the starship and they have had 157 flights worth of experience to improve upon their operation. Starship isn't starting from scratch it is evolutionary, the flight testing should reflect that.
>but I also don't think there will be much patience for the same occurring with Starship HLS.Starship will have so many flights under its belt before HLS and in reality they don't even need to have reusability figured out for HLS to work.
