>>12886001That, and the fact that rockets are a fucking insanely inefficient way to fly people around. Why the fuck would I spend millions developing a rocket to fly humans internationally, when we already can do it with planes. Sure, I could strap someone to a fucking rocket and fly it directly at San Francisco and be there lickity split, but just because we can doesn't mean it's a fucking smart thing to do. Just look fuel consumption, I think the engines on the 737 burn about a gallon of fuel in a second, while the Saturn 5 burned through 20 tons a second. That alone, is enough of a reason to only use rockets for LEO and beyond, there's no fucking way you can sell tickets at an affordable price burning that much fuel, and it's not cheap fuel. And what's the turn around time on Musk's rockets? Of the ones that successfully land, doesn't it take a few months to refurbish and get it ready (cough just like the space shuttle cough), so unless there's fucking thousands of starships on standby, you won't be able to provide a large volume of flights throughout the year. Just go listen to the women (idk her name I think she's CIO) describe how they plan to do this. She has no fucking clue, and essentially waves her hands while holding an LED strip. Add on the risks of, having one thing go wrong and the whole vessel detonates, having a fuel leak so now it can't land on its own, having an engine malfunction and it can't land, or even a rapid decompression, and the whole idea becomes fucking retarded. That is unless, you're also retarded, and the idea of flying on a rocket from state to state seems plausible. I like the falcon, starship, and the work that SpaceX and their engineers has done. I don't like the completely retarded ideas that elon and his lady CIO pull out of their ass, and then feed to the public. Then again though, it's because the public is retarded and decided they enjoy eating shit, and so people feed them shit.
