>>1696227>Seems more budget to start booster hopsHow? They fleshed out so many issued with the plumbing, engines and tanks by testing starship first. They already static fired(pic related)and cryo tested the booster by itself. How would flying it first and by itself be cheaper?
>Also it's very possible that many starships explode during high speed reentry solving this stage of flight with starship alone seems like and a more budget option too Yes which is why they need to test it asap. Also it cannot get into orbit without the superheavy so they need to do both. They only plan to ditch them into the sea during the first test. After that they will start attempting to catch it.
>and can't do serios suborbital flights alone
Why would it do anymore suborbital flights?
