in the decades after apollo we didn't progress worth shit. Space Shuttle was more of a sidegrade and not a very amazing one at that. Baby boomers kill everything they touch. Thank god we've got some gen-xers like Elon in the game so we're finally got some progress going again.

If this doesn't give you a stiffy there's something wrong with you.

I predict Starship/SH will be sexy to watch launch in the same way that the Space Shuttle was, in that it's a big, loud marvel of modern technology.

I don't believe for a second that it will result in anything even 1/10th as kino as the Saturn V's "explosion on startup that gets sucked back into the pad by the Venturi force of the engines, their exhaust plumes ringed by black exhaust from the reinjected gas generator exhaust" show. Nobody else designed them like Von Braun did.

If we're going to Mars we better get used to those nuclear rocket engines too

How do we send humans on Mars?

Getting to LEO takes ~10k dV. Getting to Mars Orbit takes another ~7k dV. Returning from Mars Orbit to Earth is another 7k dV.
Landing on Mars requires another 4k dV. Taking off from Mars into orbit is another 4k dV. Just the Mars Lander alone would need 8k dV, that's almost the size and weight of a vehicle launching from Earth into LEO.

Right now we're struggling to send more than a few dozen tons of stuff into Earth Orbit (10k dV), how are we ever going to be able to do this?
