My statement - and yes, it was improperly worded - was to multiple engines, whether on a small airplane or on a large rocket, allowing for an increased liklihood for a problem. Which I made clear in subsequent posts.

Early aviators did indeed find it was more dangerous to fly with more than one engine, depending on the airworthiness of the craft. The very reason for the old adage, back then, about one engine being safer than two.

To the main issue: I wish Starship well on the next attempt.

It’s one thing to be stupid, tt’s another thing to be stubbornly stupid. Old addage my ass. I’m a pilot and spent more then 20 years in aerospace on planes and launch vehicles. You have no clue what you are talking about. And willing to make crap up rather then admit it.
