OT: Largest Ship In Space Ever

[ashokan]

In case you missed SpaceX Starship launch. The video captures are pretty amazing - getting to Saturn V level. Don't miss the in-space views

And unlike Artemis, not $4.2B a launch…it’s remarkable how much more efficient they are…

that was impressive!

I wonder if the Vulcan scout ship saw that.

Better them than the Klingons.

It's actually taller than the Saturn V and has almost twice the thrust. It is immense in terms of the lift capacity.

Not until 4/5/63.

 

[ashokan]

More scale..

Nice. Thanks for posting.

What is its mission?

What is its mission?

To make life multiplanetary.

To make life multiplanetary.

Only way the human race survives, assuming we only inhabit Earth today.

Better hurry-up
Right now it might be safer to ride SpaceX than Boeing lol

Starship Re-entry vid - heavy on the plasma (and the lisp)

It isn’t, but Boeing is screwing up right and left these days. That or the maintenance crews are screwing up. Someone is screwing up.

I've read the potential reasons and think they are probably all correct. This week a plane landed missing panels and on another plane 50 people were hurt when a pilots seat adjustment hit a wrong switch. Now a suicide mystery for a whistleblower. No way I would fly with family at the mo. It all reminds me of mayor in Jaws saying everything is fine lol.

Seeing how some of these planes just fall apart reminds me of buildings in China they call "tofu dregs." China built a lot of shoddy (being kind) buildings that just fall apart easily. They have subs too that are leaking and crews are nervous.

Seems like they figured out a solution to their problems..
