  1.  @weekiely1233  no doubt he had a better opportunity than most people. But you don’t make $200 billion and found multiple massively successful businesses from chance. Otherwise everyone who grows up in an upper class family would be worth $200 billion.

  2. Also you realise that this isn’t the only model of Starship, right? This one is specifically designed for StarLink so they can launch their new v2 satellites, which will be the main thing they launch early on. They will have multiple models, probably with a larger payload opening or like HLS with legs and a lift to lower astronauts.

  3. That is space, also just below LEO

  4. SLS is behind schedule as well. Artemis 2 was meant to launch this year, they’ve pushed it back to next year but it’s questionable if that’s even possible. Really I think SpaceX will have plenty of time to get HLS ready, 2026 might not be it though

  5. does Aluminium scare you?

  6. It was just a fluke that all his companies have been massive successes and have each changed their respective industries…

  7. Also do some research. StarLink satellites fly low to the Earth so will fall in months if they shut down or are destroyed

  8.  @wouldntyouliketoknow9891 so get rid of everything that made SpaceX successful and switch to the NASA way that leads to massive delays and budget overruns. Genius

  9. They purposely didn’t for safety reasons… it was just barely suborbital in the test

  10.  @weekiely1233  it didn’t reach Orbital speeds (on purpose).

  11.  @weekiely1233  was that IFT2 or 3? I thought 3 was meant to run below orbital speeds and lower than LEO. Doesn’t matter though, the rocket can definitely reach orbit. Hopefully IFT4 they can sort out the reentry of the booster and ship

  12. Lol blaming Elon for California not having high speed rail. No, blame the California state government and Congress.

  13. No because they orbit at such a low altitude if they lost power or were destroyed they’d return to the earth within a few months The real danger are the satellites high up that will be there essentially forever. But they still aren’t much of a danger, and by the time they might be we will have technology to mitigate it. Importantly no model predicts it will never trap us on Earth. We will still be able to fly to the moon or mars, its danger is that it will prevent us from putting things into orbit

  14. The benefits would be science. There would be so much to learn from a permanent colony on Mars.
