Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

How's Musk doing that?

[–] Drewelite 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He's not, real engineers are. That's my point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Funny, because what you implied is that it was Musk doing it.

When a company of his does bad it's his fault, when one does good it's other people's fault?

The guy's a fucking prick, don't get me wrong.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I despise Musk but the circlejerk "it's his fault it failed / he has nothing to do with its success" (especially on Lemmy) is just ridiculous

The implication is that this guy's hate is coming from somewhere else ✈️

Ok. Boo.

Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And the lower stages?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
