Definitely. Starship will make about anything else pointless. It’ll be cheaper to fly than the Falcon 1 even (eventually). It might take a few more years to get to thay point, but when it works out as planned it’ll be orders of magnitude cheaper.

Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.

Battery industry is world champion at bs. “Lithium-ion” doesn’t really mean anything. What matters is cathode & anode material. There are many choices, but nickel cathode with carbon-silicon anode works great.

Big problem:
"..Right now, hydrogen is made as a by-product of fertilizer and oil refining. South Korea isn’t ideal for wind and solar energy. Korea will produce what it can from the renewable energy capacity it has but it won’t be enough. The rest will be imported.."

Fuel cells, they always have been silly
A. How's this stuff work?
B. It's kinda like a hydrogen battery except not really.
A. So it's better than normal batteries right?
B. Well no not really...
A. Better than gas at least!
B. Uhh... Umm... Well here's the thing

It would be great if the Cybertruck's rear window could roll down into the rear wall and then the whole wall fold in on top of folded rear seats.
Perfect for camping when Tonneau is closed, and for carrying things longer than 8’ @elonmusk

We're on SN5/6/7 and there are plans continuing past SN50!! well.. holy shit.
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Jun 10, 2020@nickwijngaards @Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace Hundreds of improvements in manufacturability primarily (this is by far the hardest problem), mass down, thrust up, Isp up. Current improvement list continues past SN50. As the saying goes, it’s 1% inspiration & 99% perspiration …

Actually, we’re on SN30 for Raptor

Some day can we get a video compilation, “How not to run a full flow staged combustion engine” like the booster landing montage 😂 I’ll bet there’s some speculat failures when pushing Raptor, that would be an amazing video 👌
