But that’s not the way it will play out, and will not change the radical lefts minds |

To be fair Saturn is so old, that everything that was known about it has just about been lost. It’s being reverse engineered as best we can but every part was handmade, and those blueprints are long, long gone. They’d have been better off starting from scratch.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chairborne: Definitely. Not just materials either, 3D printing, computational fluid dynamics, simulation, instrumentation and feedback, computer control of operation. Lots of big parts are the same, all the tech to make them has changed. None of the small parts are the same though... |

Musk is doing a big presentation at the site of the Mk1 Starship prototype that will be test launched in about a month or so. He is going to lay out the particulars on what this ship's systems and capabilities will be for certain. Dunno what else for sure he is going to be going in to. We will all find out in about 45 minutes ;)
