Posted this in the earlier thread but Starship is inevitable. They will get the landing sorted out soon because we know they’ve fixed the header tank issue. Heat shield might be a pain but 1) Steel can survive high heats and 2) Starship PROONTING down in Boca Chica. Superheavy is almost done, ready to be pressure tested. Even if it fails they have another on under construction.

How will OldSpace cope?

BE4 has an isp of like 330 seconds. I don’t remember where I read this but it’s supposed to be low tech and cheap.

>The Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, combating climate change, and creating economic opportunity for all Americans is real – and we all have a role to play in turning that commitment into action. At NASA, we embrace diversity because we understand that different opinions, backgrounds, and perspectives create an enriching environment that fuels innovation and personal growth. Every difference of opinion, background, or perspective is an opportunity to learn and build relationships in the workplace that will make us stronger as an agency and as individuals. This is how we get through difficult times. It’s also how we achieve missions of unparalleled complexity and ambition that inspire the world.
