All laugh at SpaceX: ""Starship is a joke"" but Elon's response is big slap to...
In 2016, when Elon Musk showed off his brainchild Starship as well as his dream of multi-planetary life to the World.
This really caused a fierce debate in the space community with an overwhelming number of people attacking Musk. Most of those come from the politicians.
“Starship is a joke, will never fly”, they said.
All laugh at SpaceX: ""Starship is a joke"" but Elon's response is big slap to...Not only because they did not trust Musk, but most of all they feared that the development of a private space company could turn the tables, usurping the monopoly of the legacy companies from which they benefit.
And finally, that nightmare has come true.
Starship is now so famous while the successor agency's space launch system turned out to be a literal joke.
So, how has SpaceX used the reversed card in the political game?
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
All laugh at SpaceX: ""Starship is a joke"" but Elon's response is big slap to...
In 2020 while SpaceX was quietly testing Starship prototypes in low-altitude test flights, someone shared that:
“Starship is a joke - from the material selection to the construction principle to the aerodynamic shape for re-entry. Not to mention third-world style assembly of hardware literally on a beach.
Building a fly-back booster stage is one thing. Building a manned, re-usable re-entry vehicle is a few leagues above Elon Musk, and probably above SpaceX as well.
