    Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

        He’s not, real engineers are. That’s my point.

          Funny, because what you implied is that it was Musk doing it.

            When 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.

              Yeah, 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

        Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.

        Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

            Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
