minus-squareatoccilinkfedilink2•edit-227 days agoA bit pedantic, but unless I’m misinterpreting the Wikipedia page for the V2, I think it’s only 4 to 6 fully fueled V-2s based on the listed payload capacity of 100-150 tons US. V-2 dry: 27,600 lb Warhead: 2,200 lb Propellant: 8,400 lb 75% ethanol / 25% water, 10,820 lb liquid oxygen Total weight: ~24.5 tons US
minus-squareSemi-Hemi-LemmygodlinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-227 days agoI appreciate your pedantry. I was just going off a quick google for “weight of V-2 fully loaded” and “mass of Starship to orbit” because it’s been quite a busy day here. You’re technically correct, and that’s the best kind. 🎖️
