I'm not here to argue any of the rest of you post but the last three star ship launches have been to orbital velocity but on a trajectory that purposely didn't go into full orbit.
I understand what you are saying, but doesn't that back up what he is saying. 166% of the budget spent and they aren't even aiming for an orbit or further yet
I mean maybe but I don't really think it does either way, I was just pointing out it's kind of disinformation to say they can't put starship into a stable orbit.
It's also weird to say SpaceX is coming dead last when they're still they one company with a reusable first stage and literally the only company developing a reusable second stage.
Elon Musk is an absolute cunt but I don't really agree with the post I responded to.
How about you go research the projected vs actual cost of historic NASA projects, instead of commenting on something you apparently have not researched at all, and know nothing about?
Wait until you find out how much more most IT and military projects cost than projected...
