Thinking of the dynamics of all these things happening @ 28,000 mph is fascinating stuff.

pretty damning report TBH.

1 filter getting plugged on 1 engine, and it results in LOS. there are 33 in the first stage, and 6 in the second. how many of you would roll the dice?

i have no doubt that with enough money and time, starship could work. but why bother when we already have SLS that actually works, and has already put artemis in lunar orbit?
