I feel like the overarching Starship design could be adapted to accommodate larger engines if SpaceX found an optimization there. What they need is the culture and financial runway to pivot/adjust enough to eventually get to a better optima. Which SpaceX seems to have.
- nothercastle 1y agoSLS was a dead end because the project was poorly executed not because the design concept was bad.
- throwawayffffas 1y agoIs it a dead end? It had a successful launch and there is another one coming next year supposedly. Sure it's delayed, over budget and costs as much as the GDP of a small country, that doesn't make it a dead end, that makes it a government project.
