That means Space X have a whole year, 2021 to improve Starship and the Super Heavy, possible test fly with super heavy and starship on top by the end of 2021.
WWOOOOAHHHHHHH

Curious how much they're gonna need to repair the thing.

to all you spacex fags i got a question. how come 60 years ago they landed on the moon, with people on board, launched back to earth, and had computers with a capacity of a dead caterpillar, and your boy elon is fucking up a landing on earth?

because plumbing is the hardest problem on earth and sometimes it takes multiple tries to get a new design right

Because the boys back in the 1960's were returning the astronauts by doing the equivalent of dropping them in the ocean in a controlled manner in a tiny capsule the size of a compact car.

Elon is trying to do the equivalent of sending half of the Saturn V to the moon and then landing it (and the other half) back where it started on solid land. It's a bit more complicated.

this is still amazing news, in 12-13 days we will potentially have a new starship flight

dude they landed them vertically on the moon, and also lunched them back.

We've been at this for a while, friend. We know when you're trying to troll us with a false equivalent.

It's never going to work you can't just hammer out dents in aerospace grade rocket hardware that's not how it works it's never that easy.

Musk X VentureStar crossover when?

>> No.12477960

>>12477863
VentureStar is irrelevant these days. The promise of cheaper flight already came with Falcon9/Heavy. Cheaper than even VentureStar's hyped up promises. Now SpaceX is going even further with Starship that will reduce the cost further exponentially.
