[@wkjeeping9053]

Boeing is at least 10 to 20 years behind spacex right now. Boeing should be 10 years ahead of everybody since they built the space shuttles and maintain them for over 10 years. We sent people to the moon in the 70s with barely any tech. But we cant get there with now days tech, which a microwave now days has more computing power than saturn 5 rocket. Smart phones has more processing power then the space shuttles in the 90s. Blue origin min 25 years behind. Blue origin only goes sub orbit.

[@Ncyphen]

It's called Fast R&D. Research, build a prototype, test it, obtain results, repeat. SpaceX is able to do this because they have money and are not hard reliant on government funding. Boeing and NASA, on the other hand, rely heavily on government funding. If they were to try the same approach with Fast R&D, one failure could cause congress to reconsider their funding, even if they yielded amazing research data from the test. (Most congressmen are not engineers. They do not understand the value of data from failure and simply observe the money as wasted.)

[@zelrex4657]

Yeah they use several techniques. Most specifically in my opinion is that they don't worry about getting funds and instead use stock buyers money to go directly into projects with investors usually not caring enough to make revenue from it. In a way it's kinda a massive donation fund.

[@TheAndroidNextDoor]

​@zelrex4657 SpaceX is a privately held company, though. There are no investors or stocks to be bought for it. All its money comes from its contracts with its customers or from whatever Elon Musk decides to spend on it that day. Honestly, the reason they're probably able to turn around so fast is that they're NOT taking any investor's money or beholden to give a return to shareholders. They, rather ironically, can take more risks in blowing up their own launch vehicles in test flights and not have to give a care about their stock prices because the typical hedge fund manager is as skittish and short sighted as the typical squirrel, only able to look as far as the next quarterly report.

Both halves also landed. Stage one hovering for a sec over the water before dropping in. State two has a fin (brobably both) burn and start to fall apart at the edge before going through a controlled landing (the fin clearly actuating despite the burn through on the edge).

[@Ncyphen]

This version of Starship launched with a known faulty design for the fins. They've already redesigned the fin casing to better shield the gap between the fin and the hull for better protection. With this flight, SpaceX was curious on how well the ship would hold together after and while incurring direct damage from re-entry. SpaceX had also removed two tiles and replaced another tile with a thin tile. I think SpaceX was just as surprised when Starship still had enough control from all four fins to belly flop the vehicle into position for a soft landing.

Landed as in "what goes up must come down"...

[@Asterra2]

@@Ncyphen Funny thing is that if the FAA hands over the next license quickly enough, SpaceX will probably send up Ship 30 next, just to keep it from being wasted on scrapping. They can do new tests with it, like relighting Raptor in space or hovering for 20 seconds or whatever, but in the end, it's got the same flap design so those flaps would melt again. I can already see people not understanding this and making fun of SpaceX for failing to fix the problem in three weeks.

There are no stated plans to land Starship on an ocean pad ala Falcon 9. Both Starship and its booster are designed to be caught.

He also stated that Starship missed the mark by 6 kilometers, although he gave no reason why.

What's with the engine that didn't work?

[@Jaker788]

Hard to say. Most likely though it's plumbing related issues, the first one that went out shortly after liftoff I don't think would be ice related but more likely pressure or something after startup was not right so it shut down for safety. The outer ring of engines cannot restart as they require ground systems to get them started, it saves a little weight. The second engine that failed on landing burn could be clogging of a filter from ice again, or gas bubbles from tank slosh, or something else. I'm not sure if this one did a safety shut down or if it blew up and was part of the debris that came out the bottom on landing burn.

The model of Starship launched is already obsolete, with an older, vulnerable fin design. Along with the fins, SpaceX left off 2 tiles and replaced a tile with an incorrect thickness.
