SpaceX has been saying the FH is the most powerful liquid fueled rocket since Saturn, and of course it’s much more powerful than any current launcher.
Impressive. Impressive.
Funny, I am someone who believes fully in the concept of the free market, and that if something needs doing, the free market can deliver it much better than the government ever can.
But I rationalized that space travel was one of those things the government needed to do.
Boy, was I wrong. (even with government money being sent Musk’s way for various things, I believe SpaceX has proven me quite mistaken.)
SpaceX has also left out the qualification of being liquid-fueled, and that’s the usual way it has been described. I’m not cutting them slack just because I’ve liked what they’ve accomplished.
To keep the cash flow fat, they need to replace the F9 and FH with Raptor-based versions, and it’s clear that they aren’t going to do that. We all need to enjoy this while it lasts, because it isn’t gonna.
