Wait...maybe that was the wrong question... Just how many YEARS is SLS behind their promised schedule? Keep fapping to the people who OPENLY piss down your back, and then tell you that it's raining. They like that. |

50/50 is my guess. It is their first try after all. I give mk2 75/25 of sticking the landing after they make adjustments. Then mk3 I think they have everything down reliably and mk4 goes to space unmanned and mk5 manned. Just how I see it playing out.

I'm just glad I'm alive to see these advances, and at the same time sad because I don't have a personal FTL ship to explore
Just the fact that I might be alive to see man colonize another planet is enough to make me happy. |

SpaceX Starship Mk1’s most important tests yet could begin just hours from now
"SpaceX’s South Texas Starship Mk1 prototype is on the verge of kicking off a critical period of ground tests, ranging from tank pressurization and propellant loading to the rocket’s first triple-Raptor engine static fire. The campaign could begin soon – perhaps as soon as later today (18 November 2019), in fact." |

I do not worship Musk or idolize him.
Nor do I follow false gods and prophets. I do appreciate his vision and what he is accomplishing. Been following the Space Program since the earlier 1960's, with my Dad. Inspired me to get get involved in technology and and electronics, which led to a fantastic career. Having said that, when is lift off test hop? |
