minus-square@DrewelitelinkEnglish33•7 months agoHey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•7 months agoFunny, because what you implied is that it was Musk doing it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•7 months agoWhen a company of his does bad it’s his fault, when one does good it’s other people’s fault? The guy’s a fucking prick, don’t get me wrong.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•7 months agoYeah, I despise Musk but the circlejerk “it’s his fault it failed / he has nothing to do with its success” (especially on Lemmy) is just ridiculous

How’s Musk doing that?
He’s not, real engineers are. That’s my point.

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.
And the lower stages?
Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
