SpaceX Starship Thread
- Thread starter Zeedox
- Start date
It blew up again today.
Musk is calling it a win because it made it further than the last one before blowing up.
At this rate, it will take more money to reach orbit for the first time than every project NASA has ever done combined.
Fun facts:
Number of rockets lost in the Apollo program: 0
Number of rockets lost in the Starship program: EVERY SINGLE ONE EVER BUILT.

SpaceX's Starship Breaks New Ground During Third Test Flight
The megarocket flew faster and farther than ever before, and—surprisingly—with no explosion in sight.

There's no blow-up mentioned. The lower stage crashed and the uppeer stage has disintegrated.
12 for 12.
Every single Starship that has ever been tested or launched has been destroyed.
It is an unprecedented record that the world has never seen.

He hasn't. In fact, they've increased. Nothing has gotten any cheaper at all. Right now it cost about 100 million to launch one.
It's simply an epic failure of a project. It should never have been launched to begin with as there is simply no way that an even half-competent engineering crew wouldn't know it had some serious issues.
As of now, 3 billion of our tax dollars have been thrown down the drain on this thing, and counting. That's a hell of a lot of money to spend on a fireworks display.
