Well, I dunno what else he’s done, but I saw what the big deal was on video and it wasn’t much at all.

Falcon 9 has flown more rockets than any other US rocket maker in history. And landed over 50, which is over 50 more than any other in history.

You obviously have a big problem and I hope can get it fixed.

Hasn’t bilked anywhere close to as much as Boeing. Get over it.

That shows a remarkable level of stupidity on your part.

"i’d feel better about SpaceX if not for the pothead.

If performance is an indicator, we could use MORE "potheads" rather than less.

Best source for SpaceX and other space news, doesn't mess around, structured show, doesn't go off on tangents early on, and runs about six or seven minutes, nice an tight.

Self pressurization is the next test, using combustion gases from a tap on the one mounted engine, a tap from a turbo pump’s exhaust plumbing fed back to the fuel storage tank, instead of helium or other inert gas.

The thrust puck is outfitted with gimbal mounts for three engines, not just one engine. One Raptor engine produces 440,000 lbs thrust. The Starship empty weight is about 550,000 lbs. No flight is possible with one engine in Earth’s gravity.

“i’d feel better about SpaceX if not for the pothead.”

Without that ‘pothead’, there would be no SpaceX.

Elon Musk himself says the test hop will be with one engine. This isn’t a complete Starship and the fuel will be minimal.
