When the Artemis mission finally lands Americans on the moon it would be cool to watch it from Musks’ starship on the lunar surface.
LOL! Dumbass writer. How about "proliferated" instead of "exploded"?
The recent launch of Starship Superheavy was phenomenal. If it wasn't for SpaceX, the U.S. would rank 3rd in the space race, behind China and Russia. SORRY NASA!
The impact Spacex has had on launch vehicle advances is astonishing, even though Biden wants Musk to hire illegals and is SUING SpaceX over that.
I find that debatable right now. Unresolved problems with Starliner, which is 10 YEARS late to the party, and the Chinese are eating our lunch in lunar exploration.
More propaganda…
Interesting and informative.
At this moment, the SuperHeavy booster can function as a single-use rocket, and boost TONS OF MATERIALS into space. Since the ultimate goal is reusability of the booster and Starship, SpaceX does not announce it as ready. SpaceX never ever stops improving and advancing, but if necessary, someone could hire SpaceX to boost major weight without a guarantee that they could recover and reuse the booster.
Some have commented that the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy are now more reliable than Boeing. Musk has already proved that the current Falcon 9 rocket can be reused 20 times. Musk recently announced a goal of improving it to 40 launches per Falcon 9. The cost of each launch is plummeting.
Watching the thousands of SpaceX employees cheering their own work is so inspiring and hopeful. Young people inspired to reach for the heavens, and actually getting there.
Robert Heinlein is smiling.
The US government has shown itself as leaking information to the Chinese (or directly selling it to them, as with the Clintons). SpaceX has excellent reasons to keep its technological advantages to itself.
