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

And no promise has been made. You are attributing promises where none were made

None of the plans have been approved in a shady way. And Musk has not been the one curating this shit
Launching 10-20 (not 30) will not seem ridiculous in the near future.
Blue is still later by your own timeline
Starship is close. Closer than Blue Moon Mk 2

I also don’t see you picking fault with any other major programs targets either. You’re missing the forest for the trees

Yeah that’s a new tentative schedule? So what?
That target will still mean the program has progressed as fast as the LEM did. Yet far more complex, cost effective and capable
And no. Not everything needs to go right for that date. This is the internal rough estimate and can move either way

Did you read the actual results of this paper?

Indeed. They have some really good graphics for NG

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

So you don’t support cutting actual waste just waste you claim based on performative reasons?

Blue will build on that’s and compete but a fully reusable vehicle like starship will get there too but with more lessons to learn

And you can’t use a chute for rockets of this scale plus the salt water degradation is significant
The scale here is the complexity not the engineering alone. SpaceX has dominated the market by recovering stages and had a consecutive success streak of landings greater than any other launcher for F9

SpaceX has blown up a few prototypes but always from thin (and I mean very thin) engineering limits not software.

That’s software complexity. But not much complexity
The complexity to get payloads to orbit to the precision needed nowadays is far greater

That’s definitely the case for impacts but long term the implications will be limited. Which arguably is part of the issue

They won’t go kinetic in GEO but they absolutely will have a disregard for LEO more so than the west

That’s not actually the case though. SpaceX have dominated the market through a sheer build different mindset
They operate the cheapest per Kg, most frequently flying, most flown U.S. launcher and most reliable launcher ever developed

Starship is a money hungry beast but my god will it be insane for competition

Really there won’t be that many. Think of aviation. It’s pretty much a duopoly
Most will get so far but mergers will happen. Although more than likely there will be more than 3 LSPs taking market share and competition will drive innovation like it has the past decade

China are through state supported corporations
Russia…ahahah they ain’t
ESA are very much looking at a reusable iteration from Ariane 6 although obstacles remain politically

Contracting multiple providers and reaping the rewards of not having overheads has saved them a significant amount of manpower and money vs say SLS

The reason NASA has so many centers in so many states is quite literally to lobby to local politicians whilst making it very hard to close them all down
NASA has also never built their own rockets. They just operate a few and that’s been a very costly and cumbersome endeavour for them

That’s not really the case. It’s more that politicians meddle in NASA affairs to the point they have legally mandated them to use their lobbyists rocket

There actually is a lot of benefit in doing so and it’s not dangerous. It’s also not absurdly complicated
It’s two burns, a hover then a graceful landing. Then you get back the vast majority of the cost for making a new one
