While that is true, it's not fair to say "see they lied! In completely different circumstances you only get a fraction of the range!" Even for ICE vehicles they use ideal conditions to measure their MPG/range even though most people aren't driving in ideal conditions.

Looks like the plan is for it to eventually reach speeds over 4000 mph.

Maybe I live an extremely boring life, but I definitely do not have a Charlie in my life.

As someone who has floored it in a Tesla with no racing experience, it really isn't hard to stay in the lane.

It's not meant to be comforting, it's supposed to be tongue in cheek.

I get your point, but isn't that essentially what any rocket is? Lol

Fair enough. Starship is still in its infancy though so I wouldn't completely give up hope yet.

Apparently you don't know how to have a conversation... Doing a quick search it seems like Starlink is around the break even point for operating costs and revenue, so if you'd like to provide sources to refute that, that'd be great.

What makes you think Starship isn't going to Mars?

You have yet to actually provide any counter points other than plugging your ears and saying "Nu uh!"

What? 😂 This flight wasn't supposed to go to the moon. It's a test flight. They're developing the most powerful rocket to have ever flown and recover every part of it. They're also using a power cycle for the engine that has never been used before. So no, what SpaceX is doing has never been done before.

A reused rocket mission from SpaceX is at least an order of magnitude cheaper than any other major launch provider. And to this date SpaceX has flown 216 reused rockets, and at least one of those was used for a manned mission.
