MODERATORS
They say it themselves: SpaceX specializes in turning the impossible into merely late.
When Starship was announced, people were saying it wouldn't fly with so many engines because the Russians tried and failed with their N1 rocket. Now that it did fly, it's that the heat shield will never work.
Are they late compared to what they announced? Absolutely. Are they still faster than anyone else? Look at Blue Origin and you have your answer.
Yeah, it's honestly impressive how it works at all. Like, look at the sheer scale! How does it even stand?
