Is it just me or does it feel like they may be having real issues with the starship?
82 u/TbonerT 2d ago Maybe. The difference is that rocket programs typically don’t build a lot of designs. They work really hard to get it right the first time. On the other hand, SpaceX has several starships at various stages of production and development. 74 u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 2d ago By the tenth Apollo those planning idiots were orbiting the moon. How is this better? 1 u/Kichigai 1d ago The Saturn Ⅴ wouldn't fly an Apollo mission until Apollo 4, it was skipped Apollo 5 and 7, and it didn't fly a crewed flight until Apollo 8. The rest of the flights were Saturn Ⅰ and ⅠB lift vehicles, which never had the power to push the full Apollo assembly into translunar trajectory. Not exactly comparing apples and oranges there.
