  1. You didn't read it accurately either! Lol They are calling the Starship booster "Falcon Super Heavy" (probably thinking about BFR as Big Falcon Rocket), and what's lofted to space is Starship not Elon. And I think by SSTO they are thinking of only a single First Stage, rather than multiple side boosters like the shuttle, ULA etc. If you take civilian language and people not understanding Space terms, you can get what they think they are trying to say, but they still badly screwed up and didn't have anyone from Space Twitter proof read or fact check it! Lol

  2.  @EdwardDowner  yes, I know. The op misunderstood what they were saying (sending Elon to orbit, etc), and I was pointing out that they were wrong about many things, but not in the exact way he was reading it. I was also showing how they were probably thinking of other rockets that have multiple "Boosters" where Starship only has one Booster, but we call it a Stage. So if they thought that Boosters were the thing you strap on the sides, and had no idea what SSTO meant, they just got all mixed up.

  3. The Time author obviously isn't even on Space Twitter! That was hilarious!
