For those of you that don't know. Its called the Starship and its about to change everything. Normies are focusing on the launch pad breaking and SpaceX terminating the flight after losing control from engine loss(due to debris).
But that is not significant. SpaceX just proved the concept and passed huge milestones in this test flight. Now that the concept is proven, it will simply take some time to perfect it.
>but muh explosion That is how SpaceX develops so quickly. It is called iterative design philosophy. It fleshes out problems faster and more thoroughly than traditional methods. They did this with their other products, which are now the safest on the market. See
https://youtu.be/bvim4rsNHkQ for proof.
>but it's not even close to operational It is close. Maybe a year away from its first operational iteration taking commercial payloads. Pic related is a brief summary of the testing, iteration, and progress they have made(with their future vision).
>Why is this important As calculated right now, it will put 250 tons in LEO and 150 tons to the surface of the moon or mars. It is entirely reusable, and they designed it to be mass manufactured. That means space infrastructure, habitation, and industrial ventures will become available/affordable.
Starship is the caravel of the modern era. We are on the precipice of national expansion, nation building, solor colonization, earth domination, and industrial expansion on a scale we have NEVER experienced before.
