@hairyman The SN9 starship to me, looks like something from a 50's sci fi movie. it looks like a giant tin can. i am no aeronautical engineer.
but i think Elon may be going in the wrong direction with this one. i think any new vehicles should be more along the lines of the space shuttle. capable of landing on the moon or on any planet, just like it landed when in service. fuel tank could be modular, to fit in cargo space for a return. AHHHH SHIT !!! if only I ran the world.
For me I see this as an admission that WE ARE NOT ALONE. There is so much stress and hurt going on that it will be a good time for full disclosure.Ya! they have 180 days to come up with a plausible continuation of the big lie. there will be two sets of lie's one for congress and a bigger lie for the public.
