It's the revenge of 1950's pop sci fi; gleaming (stainless steel), tail landing rockets thundering around the solar system. A fully fueled Starship can get anywhere in the solar system fast. Refueling in orbit is the key.
- je42 6y agothe cool part is, eventhough it needs refueling in orbit it is still cheaper by an order of magnitude than all the other options... some guy on youtube calculated an upper estimate of the cost to about 2000$ per KG - if i remember correctly.
- moneytide 6y agoImagine dozens of consecutive unmanned launches boosted into orbit by the same 2-5 Boosters each with only a payload of fuel meant for the large tank of Starship.
