Hopefully Boeing learns something from this whole debacle
Facts should be non partisan. What a dumb fucking timeline.
Ehhh, Falcon is still an absolute champ. But yeah, Starship development is not going according to plan and nobody will fly on it anytime soon.
The goal remains for the first flight of Tenacity this year.

I'm pretty disappointed in the last two, but the failures were both ship v2 that completely redid the plumbing. But yeah, you'd think they'd be doing better by now.
Ok then do it, I double dog dare you
Angara instead of Energia M is even more depressing than Angara on its own.
For what it's worth, the last two Cygnus cargo ships had to fly on Falcon 9s because they ran out of Antares rockets.
