its about to undergo orbital insertion in a few minutes
>>110327934they failed to catch both parts, so the exciting part is already over
>>110327934Why it matter?
>>110327947Isn't that the point?
>>110327947they failed the booster not he upper stagethey might still catch that one and thats the most exciting part
>>110327934Starship is a white elephant. There just aren't that many big payloads worth launching. It's only useful for vanity goals like reaching Mars.
did i already miss it
>>110327973It will make orbital data centers economically viable.
>>110328001uhuh
With all the happenings lately, I'm guessing the upper stage fails to land.
>>110327973>There just aren't that many big payloads worth launchingYet. Specifically because there hasn't been a means to launch them economically
>>110327973there arent payloads because there was no capability. supply creates demand, they created big starlinks for the initial demand for it>>110327977yesthey lost the booster, the upper stage is doing well so far
>>110328007The only reason they're not is because it's too expensive getting all of that material up into orbit. If Starship is successful then it won't be too expensive to send it up there. It's as simple as that.
>>110327973what about a lot of little payloads all at once
What went wrong with the booster?
>>110327934next is making a space platform, it was neat at first but it gets really tedious and you have to keep making new ones when you get better tech
>>110327973>big payloads worth launchingthe point is to make those big payloads worth launching
>>110328037>If Starship is successfulthat's a big if. betting the company and giving up on falcon-9 is typical white elephant behavior.
I hope the landing fails so I can stock up some spcx.
>>110328267you should probably buy before they merge tesla into spacex in december
no-contact flush.
>>110327934Remember, this was supposed to be ready for a moon landing THIS YEAR.
>>110328934that's a camera they took a picture of your penis
>>110327947>>110327969Failed to catch is an odd way of saying the booster imploded.
