Look man I'm not a fan of Elon, but it's ridiculous to say the starship is the "worst". It's coming out of early development and has had some minor success already.
- SiempreViernes 8d agoOk, so which is the worst product SpaceX has made? And I don't think the CSAM producing twitter account counts in this context.
- greenhat76 8d agoFalcon 1 is the obvious one.
- WalterBright 8d agoThe Falcon 1 was a necessary step in learning how to build rockets.
- panick21_ 6d agoAnd Starship is a necessary development program to solve the hardest problem in rocketry. Literally something nobody ever achieved and SpaceX is closer then anybody ever. Starship is already the largest orbital rocket ever build and is the second rocket to actually reuse its first stage. In addition to that the second stage has managed to land intact, something only the Shuttle did before. People who claim like there was some superior alternative to Starship that SpaceX could 'just' have build are just ignorant. There isn't a magical 'just' build the largest rocket ever and make it fully reusable playbook you can simply execute.
- greedo 8d ago"coming out of early development" that has been going on for almost a decade...
- sharlos201068 7d agoI don't like Musk, butt that's not really that unusual. Starliner has been in development for much longer and still doesn't work.
