minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoSooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship. Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoFunny, because what you implied is that it was Musk doing it.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•1 year agoYeah, I despise Musk but the circlejerk “it’s his fault it failed / he has nothing to do with its success” (especially on Lemmy) is just ridiculous

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.
And the lower stages?
Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
How’s Musk doing that?
He’s not, real engineers are. That’s my point.
