It looking like a piece of shit is an unpopular opinion?
I assumed that was a consensus. The thing isn't trying to win any beauty contests, it's covered in ugly seam welds.
And none of that matters, not one bit.
- kev009 7y agoIt's not cosmetics. What kind of tolerances can you get dangling a massive assembly from a crane in the wind? How many people are cross checking the work? What kind of instrumentation are you using to check joint quality and integrity at these heights from a genie lift? It’s hard to shoot a stucco roof from a genie lift, I can’t help but laugh out loud at the assertion this is sane. Astronomically stupid.
- trixie_ 7y agoI laugh out loud at armchair engineers who think they have any real insight into a massive engineering development program like Starship. SpaceX has proven themselves over and over again of being more than capable of achieving their goals in light of people like you.
- kev009 7y agoYup let's see how the non critically thinking Musk fan thing works out for you in 10 years. People like Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman would be shaking their heads at these spectacles.
- trixie_ 7y agoYou were the guy who 10 years ago said electric cars and reusable rockets would never be practical. Meanwhile SpaceX is on their way to building a global internet constellation, have a working full flow combustion engine, and has multiple prototype Mars rockets in development. I'd love to take your 10 year bet. Easy money.
- kev009 7y agoExcept I wasn't. SpaceX has done well for cargo launches. The cargo work appears to be good enough with great economy and any losses can be modeled by the mature insurance industry.
