Canaccord Genuity: "Reusability is the most viable method of introducing competitive pricing relative to other rockets, considering that all other modes of transportation utilize a reusable vehicle (e.g. airplanes, helicopters, cars)."
@thesheetztweetz Full & rapid reusability is the holy grail of orbital rocketry
@PPathole @thesheetztweetz Well-optimized Starship would do ~250 tons to orbit as expendable & ~150 tons fully reusable
@PPathole @elonmusk @thesheetztweetz ~ 200 tons according to Elon from earlier this year.
@PPathole @elonmusk @thesheetztweetz There is little reason to do that as it would mean the payload was incorrectly modularized. However, if something already built could fit inside Starship, it could be an option to go expendable. However, re-designing Starship for so few potential use cases would not be worth it.
@PPathole @elonmusk @thesheetztweetz Throwaway fairing, 6 RVacs, stripped down to bare bones. Could deliver a lot more payload
@PPathole @elonmusk @thesheetztweetz WISH you would listen to my idea on this you'll get there quicker,safer and won't finish blowing out the ozone. .mr.Elon Musk .if you get curious email me [email protected]
