How bad was the failure of Mk1 on the Starship Program? Anonymous Tue Nov 26 23:06:32 2019 No.11179998 [Reply] [Original]

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 26 23:42:23 2019 No.11180049 The failure of Mk1 to produce a flightworthy product? Probably set it back a few months. The explosion? Not much, because they only blew it up after Elon shitcanned it anyways.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 27 14:42:38 2019 No.11181297 Probably not much, they may have sped up their development plans but with slight increased risk a they're now moving to next iteration of Starship.
