I did a pretty thorough rundown on SS vs CC and I can see why you’ve moved that way. Are the large fin/flaps still part of the design and the way it’ll reenter? everydayastronaut.com/stainless-stee…

Yes, ship needs pitch/roll/yaw control across wide Mach regime & angle of attack

I just realized another major advantage to stainless steel on Starship. It could literally be repaired with a welder!!!! Something that’s not nearly as easy when dealing with composites. Imagine a super banged up Starship with patches and dings after decades of use 😍

@elonmusk · Jan 31, 2019
Absolutely. You’ve touched on a very important point. The ship must be easy to repair on the moon and Mars.

“We found that battery electric cars generate half the emissions of the average comparable gasoline car, even when pollution from battery manufacturing is accounted for.” Half.

@elonmusk When do you foresee Mars Base Alpha being self sufficient assuming the initial 2022 cargo + 2024 cargo & crew test flights go according to plan?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jan 31, 2019
About 10 orbit synch windows, which are every 26 months, so self-sufficiency around 2050

Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world’s factories every day
