My enemies are many, my equals are none

Calling me a troll when I’ve made a valid argument doesn’t make me a troll. Grow up
New Glenn is massive.

It can carry Blue’s other rocket (the suborbital New Shepard) in its payload fairing

There’s also a lil person for scale here

Rockets are mental

Hell they’re a fraction of the emissions of video gaming. Not games, just the power needed to play them

Not sure what you mean by “military rockets” but it’s not really relevant since this is a civilian one. And partially reusable rockets (like New Glenn) save on 95% the production emissions

Here’s some charts to really highlight this. That Starship figure is if Starship launched over 3000 times a year
November 12, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Well, yes actually. Which they’re already excelling at

SpaceX was also not supposed to fly the uncrewed demo this summer. Their only hard target is Artemis 3 which isn’t until 2027

It’s not their fault they waited until too late to procure a lander.

So far they’ve completed milestones on or ahead of schedule

Spaceflight emissions as a whole though are negligible. Like incredibly negligible.

Starship has aced both of its latest flights. It was also dealt a bad hand deliberately by Congress

Believing any system would be ready on this poor of a timeline is naive at best
November 3, 2025 at 11:04 PM
Actually they do. Substantially
November 3, 2025 at 10:29 PM
SpaceX has not fallen behind. They’re on schedule despite being given half the time of any major NASA program in recent history and being cheaper than just the docking system for Orion

Falcon is literally the most reliable launch vehicle ever developed
November 2, 2025 at 9:03 PM
The planet can sustain it. It’s really not that high compared to less visible emissions

For context, if Starship flew 10 times a day, every day for a year

It would still only be half of just the UK’s international flights

True
October 24, 2025 at 12:13 PM
SpaceX is also following their deadline. But that deadline was simply unrealistic from the start

The HLS program is actually moving insanely fast for a major program. But as the OIG and GAO pointed out before procurement, NASA left it too long and gave too little to meet Artemis 3

Lecturer needs educating on the very fruitful relationship both have had over the past decade+

“Rapid free fall”
October 22, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Falcon 9 is the rocket of the future

It’s just flying today

And incase you missed it. This one didn’t blow up. Despite deliberate attempts to push it as far as possible

Bigger landers

The one on the right is Blue Origins crewed lander. The one on the left is the Apollo programs lander

Starship is…well 50 meters tall. Not really worth putting in scale imo
October 16, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Apollo simplified everything by compacting every component into one launch. Artemis is aiming to do more with more launches
October 16, 2025 at 1:36 AM
Oh buddy the next few years will be tough for you

I mean hey, it’s doing pretty well for a steel trash can shrapnel machine
October 15, 2025 at 10:55 PM
Then it drops to a low lunar orbit and then landing. After this it will lift back off and transfer the crew back to NHRO where the crew transfer back to Orion and then Orion takes them back home
October 15, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Perfect splashdown of both stages
October 15, 2025 at 2:35 PM
They have. And this was harder than the approach HLS will take
October 15, 2025 at 2:24 PM
This area?
