The ketamine NAZI believes that the Starship can be involved in the proposed Artemis 3 moon landing! With the Trump administration that is a death sentence for the Artemis 3 astronauts! Please remember that the DOGE version of the Ketamine NAZI has all of our social security data!!!

The Bezos rocket explosion is good news for Musk in one sense, but bad news for the whole idea of a moon base. Apollo could absorb failures, since it only needed to make a handful of quick visits. A moon base will, if it ever happens, require reliable transport on a regular schedule.

Assuming an average weight of 80 kilos, could Starship lift Musk and fifty DOGE bros into orbit and leave them there?

Doesn’t the engine failure in both stages impact payload? If they didn’t fail and there was 15% more thrust wouldn’t that change the math.

Marginally but the booster has a lot of excess thrust

Will the booster looked like one engine failed catastrophically and took out a bunch of others

Is there 3rd party verification that is was even 44 tonnes? Given how much Musk lies about FSD results why would we even believe this number? It was dummy satellites so they could easily have changed the weights because they didn’t actually av e to work.
