In a perfect world, they would have adapters to be able to use the booster from a competitor when needed. SH is very capable to launch blue origin stage2 + blue moon.

Except that the SpaceX explosion was planned. Not accidental.

000

Perhaps not true "literally". But yes, all NASA bigger rockets have been built via contracts with external companies. SpaceX "just" does it faster, cheaper and more reliably. (Starship is just damn hard) I hope BO will follow.

210

Especially SpaceX has been the exact opposite. A lot of reward from taxpayer investment, unlike via old contractors. Tens of billions of savings. Also the amount of physical waste has reduced via reuse and cleaner fuels.

000

I think these "accidents" continue as long as Article5 is not taken in use. Putin is having "fun" at the moment.

040

Reusable space ship weights more than a non reusable, that is unavoidable. SpaceX chose steel mainly bc it is cheaper and more durable vs traditional materials. For the travel to Mars, thusters and engines are the most easy problem to solve. Keeping humans healthy/alive is difficult.

000

? It's BO who has the "dildo" rocket. SpaceX is doing reliable service to orbit, reliable landings and is able to fly humans. But I hope BO and others catch up one day.

000

And it is far cheaper to have failures early than later. Therefore spacex method seems better vs achieving results.

AFIK, more than 400 USA launch failures have happened before y2000. And SpaceX alone has launches the same amount as the rest of the world since 1950. So, SoaceX has had very few failures vs result. But we should not compare old times vs modern times.

Blue Origin's Rocket Explosion - How Bad Is It?

YouTube video by Scott Manley

Yawn. (Not a launch, not a test launch, not a partial success of a static fire, .... No way compare able vs last starship test.)

000

You got it pretty much totally wrong. Methane is the best fuel to use, so far. BO has wasted more than SX. BO has had many failures. etc.

100

Actually ... SX has achieved more than 500 successful orbital operational rocket launches (and reuses) while BO is trying to do their first operational launch. BO has spent 2x more time and money and not yet done a successful orbital launch for operational service. SpaceX method seems to work.

110

Static fire (test). Not a launch.

000

Nope. SpaceX is the most successful and the largest rocket launch operator. (Elon is a horrible & unreliable person, though.)

000

Clearly you do not understand anything about rocketry or #spacex testing. So why? Just trolling?

260

Some people just do not understand. They focus on non-relevant things. SS was planned to explode after landing. V3 is big step forward vs cargo capability, but a step back vs engine reliability (new engines). V3 was all-new and most of "test items" of the flight were successful, that's all.

000

Right. Almost like the logic of flat-earth believers.

010

Total nonsense. SH has not exploded on accent. N1 exploded on every accent. F9 is the proof of SpaceX being the best rocket operator. 10+ years and 500 reuses ahead of the next company (Blue Origin). SH+SS is aiming to the next level of rocketry. But it has many tests to do before being ready.

020

False. It was a totally new kind of booster on it's first test flight. It was not planned to be recovered.

000

As planned. It was a test flight.

0111

Very little, unlike with other rocket operators. SH+SS materials and fuel is mostly non-polluting. SpaceX is the only company actively recovering rockets and reusing them

Yet another "season" of #SpaceX #Starship testing. IFT12 worked pretty well, when considering that it was nearly totally new ship design + a new booster design + new engines + new launch tower. #space #rockets

What I consider being wrong for years was that the civilian Starlink was enabled in Russia controlled areas of Zaporizia, Herson etc. It has cost tens of thousands of lives lost.

110

also Gwen Shotwell stated that Starlink terminals were donated for civilian & medical needs. I think she has some credibility, unlike Elon. Anyway, a lot of "fog of war" around Ukraine matters.

210

There is a credible looking story that Ukraine asked Elon to enable Starlink around Crimea, so that Ukraine could strike on Sevastopol harpour. Elon refused to do that and he was also not allowed (by Pentagon) to do that. Also it is a fact that Starlink is meant for civilian use,

100

Some time ago I tried to dig into it and it seemed most of the mainstream info was not true. Elon is a bad person, but that Crimea case did not go like reuters stated. It is a fact that starlink should have been blocked at and around Crimea, as Starlink coverage map shows.

300

Surely the government / military should say something if that was true?
