    It’s going to be impressive when starship is flying payloads

    The space science equipment that could fly in that large a rocket is incredible, the rate of launches at so low a price will be huge.

    Article makes no mention that they’re reducing rockets needed, seems insane that 12 or more will be needed per Starship? This Mechazilla cradle seems like a tremendously stupid risk too. Wish SpaceX would get rid of their Nazi sympathizer CEO and show us how a private space company can be ran.

      Private companies have no business in space.

        Interesting comment, care to enlighten us? Comparing SpaceX and Blue Origin isn’t really fair when one is headed by a Nazi sympathizer and the other a billionaire capitalist. Isn’t there another rocket company too?
