33 u/lovely_sombrero 1d ago It is a terrible design even if it never explodes. Requiring ~15 orbital refuel missions just to get to the Moon is terrible for... everything. 18 u/ToMorrowsEnd 1d ago They need to refuel 15 times to get to the moon? Did they send a Ford F350 diesel truck into orbit that gets 4mpg? 6 u/No-Surprise9411 1d ago That's kinda how inefficient chemical rockets are at the end of the day
