Yeah, there is some speculation on the no-fins starship - either it's a prototype for the nasa moon starship (which would need no fins as it's never going to be in the atmosphere again), or it will be a disposable one to deliver the first set of v2 starling satellites to orbit, with a better chance of success and payload as it won't have the weight of all that stuff.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoYeah that makes sense thanks.
- pantalaimon 4y agoCould also be a prototype for the orbital tanker needed for the a Artemis mission
- dotancohen 4y agoThe orbital tanker would likely come back, no? Just like the ships ferrying up the fuel to it. Once it's moved the fuel to the lunar ship, there's no reason to splash it in the ocean if SpaceX is already capable of landing Starships.
