SpaceX is unimpressive

The really hard stuff like going to the moon or sending probes to planets still requires guys at NASA who actually know what they’re doing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855694&forum_id=2,#49808381) |

SpaceX has made LEO economical, which NASA never did.
If there was a market for sending four guys to stare at the dark side of the moon I'm sure Elon would be working on that too.

I watched the entire series on how they designed and fabricated the Starship launch pad. Mind you this thing has to be designed to be reusable with limited to no retrofitting between, 4-5 times daily. The first test iteration they were having trouble modeling how different materials will react under extreme heat and particularly where multiple materials interact. Instead of getting the test site engineered to 100% survivability, they went the other way and left a ton of shit exposed just so they could see how it would fail. It was high upfront costs, but they learned shit that would take NASA a decade to figure out.
I should add the system NASA previously used worked, but it took almost a year between launches and cost 40-50 times as much. SpaceX will have two full systems on-site with launches set up every few hours. That's insane. Freight charges will be around what air freight was in the 80s. That's going to have so many spin offs you can't even predict them.
I think Elon dies on the moon and is buried there. |
