It's not, this is actually quite late. The original contract was that the starship be ready for the moon early 2024. The project still has not recovered the starship, only the booster which is the easy part in this case, but if they would want to send something further than low earth orbit for example the moon, they would not be able to recover the booster in florida. They are not even close to being ready on time for Artemis and would need to launch rockets for the next 2 years just to accumulate the fuel in space (about 20 successful launches)

[@popularreject666]

​@gaypigeon5365 so im not sure where your getting your information (my guess is your ass) but the crewed TEST flight isnt scheduled till September 2025. Actual lunar landing is scheduled sept 2026. The booster is just that, a booster no matter where they are headed the booster will only be used to get the ship to orbit just as its has done and just as it is doing. So they will absolutely be able to catch it exactly as planned. And for the record Artemis 1 was successfully completed in 22 and the orion spacecraft unmaned has already orbited the moon....but keep making things up if youd like.

[@Banana_Jesus_]

​@gaypigeon5365 Sucks that the government is stopping their progress at every corner out of spite. Now they'll be able to make some real progress.

[@Pigeon_Birb]

@@popularreject666 you do understand that landing on the moon will be donne during artemis iii in 2026 using the human landing system wich is a modified version of starship. You still need 20 rockets to bring the necessary fuel to send hls to the moon, this was calculated by destin sandlin (aka smaetereveryday on YT) a rocket engineer... Please continue using ad hominems to flatter your ego instead of doing basic reasearch. You would need 2 years worth of launches, then it should had started in september and we are reaching the end of november. At this rate, blue origin (backup to space x for hls) might be landing with people on the moon before spacex. If the mission doesent get another delay wich is quite plaussible since the nasa budget keeps getting cut.

People apparently don’t realize how close we actually are to making the Starship usable. It went all the way up to 26.500 km/h, to achieve a stable low earth orbit (LEO) it would only have needed to go about 28.000 km/h. So that means we are pretty damn close to harvest the fruits of Starships decade long development.

[@mistertagnan]

It actually did achieve an orbit, just not a very useful one. I think it was 208x50km after the in-space relight. Had the engine burned for 2-3 more seconds it would’ve been in an orbit that was stable for a little while

[@n4n4sh1_]

Once they manage to pull off the journey to Mars (with humans) a few times, i dont see why they couldnt start repeating the process Also, while they use the current process to go to Mars, they could be developing the orbital station to make it even easier for ships to come and go without actually going to earth

Technological capabilities are completely different than when we tried flying people for the first time like AI (machine learning), quantum computing, robotics and automation, 3D printing and manufacturing etc.. when we heard of Moore’s law (1965) for the first time, nobody would believe that 50% of the population in the US would have personal computers in their homes around 1997.. yet 10 years later we had an iPhone in our pockets that was even more powerful than that big box from 10 years earlier..

I don't understand it says the speed is around 4500km/h for the first 2 minutes and I can see it. Fighter jets fly at around 1800km/h I can hardly see them. Am I missing something?

[@mistertagnan]

Size, starship is huge. You can’t easily see a fly zipping around at 40km/h, but you can easily see a bus moving at 100km/h. It’s also far easier to track something that’s accelerating to that speed, than something that starts at that speed - the cameras follow it all the way from the ground, and they are *very* zoomed in. It’s certainly not easy to track rockets, or fighter jets, but it’s possible (source: I’ve taken pictures of both with zoom lenses)

[@kyrozephyr8628]

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Landing legs are a poor solution as they’ll only be used for 0.1% of the flight but need to be carried the whole time and decrease the payload. Space X wants starship to be as cheap and mundane as cargo aircraft, also catching it makes refueling a simple process. They’ll never use landing legs imo.

[@WowSpaceBanana]

the issue with legs is that this thing weighs way more and youre cutting into your cargo lift capacity by adding 4 to 6 heavy landing legs, and that is each launch, so its actually significantly more costly
