Looking at it at night it is very sexy looking. I cannot wait for them to launch this baby!
So much major space news from both manned and unmanned things these past few months. This is really a golden time we are in right now. |

I know SpaceX has proven me wrong many times, but that thing just looks like it's going to have an "unplanned rapid disassembly", specially when they send it up 66,000 ft.

Same. I have a hard time believing that this thing will make orbit, much less return and land intact. That said, I am confident that future versions of the starship will pull it off. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By castlebravo84:

He doesn't want Starship actually leaving LEO. I'd rather see SpaceX move huge amounts of stuff on Starship and set up a decent outpost/research station. |

They are building the Mk2 at Coco Beach as well, but it is just not as far along. Would still be neat if somehow that had a webcam.

A few years ago we'd have giggled at how comical this thing looks
I love this wacky world we live in. Drag queen storytime, 20 year wars, big shiny spaceships. It's like a video game parody of humanity written by someone who studied us briefly from light years away

Mk 1 will also launch from there. They have a local launch site, but when it is all done and ready for the moon/mars, the finished product will launch from Kennedy. |

I am guessing there is a shitload of welding that has to go on inside that probably could have been done when it was split. But not sure how much cooler it would have been. Seems like that thing will be toasty to work inside. |
