    I’m generally pretty pessimistic about space relative to most geeks I know, but if this is anywhere close to accurate I have to update on that view: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/starship-is-still-not-understood/ …

        It's far more profound than that. Everything about space so far has been tightly optimized for mass reduction. That (largely) goes away if Starship works. The effect of removing that constraint is going to be unforeseeably vast.

        it's interesting how people simultaneously believe we are stagnating and that there is very little possible efficiency or innovation in almost any field.

        SpaceX is going to be the most consequential firm of the 21st Century and Starship is going to be one of the things people are taught about our century forever. It is that big a deal.

        I will face my prior. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the prior has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

        lots of unknowns here still, particularly Stage 2 reusability. Shuttle has demonstrated very thoroughly that this is *hard*. Combine with their cadence goals, and it gets even harder still. OTOH, SpaceX has two *enormous* advantages: Their design is 50 years newer, and can draw

        Shuttle is in no way an example of that, though.
