  1. Why so much focus on the number of tanker launches? It doesn't really matter how many launches that will require (and it will go down in future launches as SpaceX optimize the process). We already know the Starships and Boosters are fast to build (and relatively cheap), we already know the launch towers are fast to build -- so we can be pretty sure that won't be holding up the process. The issue could be that Starship won't be ready in two years (it likely won't) but it won't be delayed by much. There is a much greater risk that other parts will be delayed (a lot, especially for Gateway) or that they aren't safe enough (SLS, Orion, Gateway).

  2. It’s just metal origami.
