That many engines makes me nervious. They've worked well so far but one flaw in one engine, followed by a cascading failure? Scary to think about.

I still don't get why thunderf00t is this irrationally biased against Spacex, a lot of his videos are filled with downright stupid shit, is it because TF is a socialist and just reflexively hate billionaires, what is his agenda?

I really don't understand what all the rushing is about.
If it was only about fit checks, they could have stacked SN16 and still work on SN20.
Are they trying to impress some congressmen or something, because I'm not impressed looking at rushed work.

I mean, that's really an issue with any rocket. A rocket is of course a flying bomb; the goal is just to control and slow the explosion. As with any rocket, an engine catching fire or whatever could be an really serious issue.

But consider that there are two types of engine failures: one where it catches fire and one were it just dies.
?In regards to the first type, a higher number of engines makes no difference. If it explodes, it explodes.
?In regards to the second type, a higher number of engines makes it safer. It matters less if one or two give out.

Considering this, the Starship's 29 engines make it safer than, say, the Saturn V's 5 engines.

Doesn't it rely on all for balance either way?

Thunderf00t's pet peeves include scams and frauds. As a successful scientist it probably irrates him more since he has a better understanding of the world and why he is just so damn good at calling bullshit out. It's why so much of his channel is devoted to debunking. Now Elon Musk is the most in your face fraud of them all so that's why he has been debunking him a lot.

Not really, no. Just like most airplanes can fly with some dead engines, the rocket will be fine with a few dead engines as well.

Just think about the 10Km test flights they've done so far. They shut off certain engines and it was fine.

His videos have earned him around $600,000 and that's before Patreon or any other money from sources besides YouTube. Anything to do with Musk gets tons of views. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of channels out there that make twenty minute videos on any random sentence Musk says. Most are Musk fans but a few like thunderpubes have found a lucrative niche in Musk hate.

A very rough estimate for YouTube earnings is 1/5th of cent per view. He's had nearly 300 million views, so that's $600,000. There are many other variables that can cause the per view revenue to go up or down but he likely understands those well enough to get at least the average and maybe more.

When Starship is on top of the booster, I wonder how far away you can see the stack on the pad. It's pretty flat in that part of Texas (and most of the rest of Texas too).

His companies motto is literally about being slow and they had a turtle as part of their logo.
Maybe he's trying to catch up to oldspace, but it isn't even a competition with SpaceX at this rate.

Bezos is neutral evil. The Musk-Bezos rivalry at least makes it hard for congress to shoot their death ray at commercial space because they don't want Bezos as collateral damage. The real threat is the FAA under the incoherent and incontinent spite of Joementia and Kamalafornia Harris.

considering the growing bitterness between the states and fed, Texas might do some bullshit magic to get them to fuck off
SpaceX is bringing a fuckton of cash into the state, and is planning on bringing at least an order of magnitude more
plenty reason for Texas to pull out all the stops to help SpaceX
they're not going to let a bunch of vain twats in DC ruin that cash cow

don't forget they already had a partially successful Falcon 9 mission where an engine went out mid-flight. They just throttle up the remaining engines slightly and adjust for the off-center thrust.
