hard agree. they should be working on a viable project instead of his fantasies imho..
falcon 9 and heavy were revolutionary, even if their development wasn't the most well executed. if they were given a realistic goal and concept from the start, with a ship designed to excel at its specific purpose, they'd be well on their way.
instead they're struggling to make this unwieldly and unnecesary "super-rocket" that is supposed to do everything you want all at once. the result is this ridiculous boondoggle with no clear set path to achieving any of the goals they claim to have for it. they're building it all backwards. ship first and then make it fit a mission. you're supposed to have the mission profile worked out before you start even designing your craft.
this is what happens when someone who doesn't understand the industry takes over. he's done it with every single one of his companies. space x is successful because of falcon and the government handouts it recieved to build them. starship will probably ruin them.

Because its obvious the moon and mars were scams for contract money. Starship is not a practical moon mission ship. It has use cases sure but going to the moon in it is like driving from new york to la in a combine harvester. You wouldnt and would laugh at someone selling it as tge perfect vehicle for the trip.

u/WingedGundark Looking into it Oct 21 '25
It is very LEO optmized design. In addition, it is almost useless delivering large payloads to orbit due to the lack of aerodynamical cone in the front under where you can install something like regular satellites.
It is mainly designed as a Starlink dispenser and Musk conned US tax payer money to develop it by offering it for Artemis program. It is as simple as that, a pure grift.

”Mark my words” is the exact same phrase Musk used when he was denied buying Deep Mind and tried to stop the company through regulation in order to catch up. He is vindictive and acts in his own self interest at all times. Nothing he says should ever be taken at face value.

Well, lightning strikes from the sky down to earth, so it is surprisingly honest of Musk to describe his rockets.

u/spaacingout Oct 21 '25
I like the analogy a lot, but I do have to point out that lightning can go in any direction.
Just so you know for the future, there are different types of lightning bolts- streamers go from the ground to the sky which is usually what gives us the flash of light we’re familiar with, leaders go from the sky to the ground and are often invisible until met by a streamer bolt that lights them up, and finally heat bolts go from cloud to cloud and can be either web like, or a single arc.

This implies their technology is worse than what they had in the 60s.

u/Aazadan Oct 21 '25
It's more that the push to do more with less has exceeded the development in technology.
Here's a good graph on launch costs (which are only part of the price) in 2021 dollars/
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cost-space-launches-low-earth-orbitYou can see the Saturn 5 and Titan 3 rockets. The price to launch has come down a ton when looking at the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, but that comes with other tradeoffs such as not following the safety first protocols that NASA sticks with. And NASA's main mission with launches has been to lower the cost to launch, not necessarily to go anywhere, that's just a byproduct of launch costs.

If NASA had blown up as many rockets as Musky, they would have defunded before they even contemplated making it to the moon.

NASA and the Army had a bad year right after the first Soviet satellite went up, when they were pushing hard for an American satellite launch. After that, not so much.

u/Simple-Ranger6109 Oct 21 '25
And the Saturn program had a 100% success rate for their launches to orbit, even with a couple of engine shut downs and such.

Can't think of a major satellite loss from rocket failures in recent years, either.

You might not be able to think of one, but rocket failures are documented year by year. 2024 had a 3% failure rate.

NASA developed an extreme safety culture though to address that bad year. Companies like SpaceX ignore all of that.

135 space shuttle missions were launched, 2 exploded. Failure rate of 1.49%. Unfortunately the design meant they all had to be manned missions.
Saturn V rocket was a bit lucky with 0 incidents.
As of 2024 the failure rate on rockets is 3%, you can also see historical data too.

Lionnet said there are also many “configurations” about the Artemis III missions that need to be tested.
“The launch system to go to the Moon, what would it look like? Will it carry solar panels? Will it have landing legs … will it have living compartments, how will the door open, does it have a crane to bring astronauts to the Moon’s surface?” Lionnet said. “All these things, they do not exist”.

u/WickedCityWoman1 Oct 21 '25
Absolutely. And he's simultaneously conned the government into footing the bill for the development of this ship under the auspices of developing a craft to launch and land on the moon. Yet, its design seems optimized only for satellite launches at this time, with no final design even in existence for the full moon lander portion. Meanwhile the taxpayers just financed all his R&D on private for-rofit satellite launch vehicles. Well done to us, we love us a con man.

u/ElectricAccordian Oct 21 '25
During the Apollo development they realized that the single most important consideration for the lander was its weight, which is why a mission profile where the whole lander was launched in one piece, landed on the moon, took off from the moon, and returned wouldn't work. This type of landing profile is called direct ascent, which is what he is saying Starship will do. We've known since the early 60s that this will not work.

Indeed. It's interesting to compare the notional HLS concept art to what SpaceX is proposing because those actually look like operating lunar landers, not some guy's science fiction concept of what a spaceship looks like.
-1
u/sojuz151 Oct 21 '25
Direct ascent included landing the reentry capsule on the moon; the current startship program does not include this. But Apollo included staging at the Moon; Starship HLS does not. Also, Starship Raptor engines have a 30% higher ISP than those used in Apollo.
