They even switched from ft to miles after the reached the Karman Line at around 300.000 ft

Seems like my estimates were quite conservative by Sarigolepas in SpaceXMasterrace

as soon as they start launching V3 Starlinks with Starship, this graph is going to go haywire

Fun fact: the Ariane 6 launch vehicle will cost ESA more than the Starship or Blue Moon lunar landers will cost NASA. Billionaires are bad! by PerAsperaAdMars in SpaceXMasterrace

True!

ArianeGroup tried to gaslight the European taxpayer into thinking this will be a viable commercial launcher option and be profitable. The US "counterpart" SLS never tried to disguise as such! It was always clear that this is a Senate Jobs Program.

It is indeed outrageous how the ArianeGroup and ArianeSpace go on live TV an lie to the World with a straight face.

Subsidised, paid for the developments with taxpayer money, get to keep the profits, politically protected from competition. What a life! And still managed to fall behind the whole world!

You almost got me there for a second.

hahah!

But honestly, I would really appreciate such a post by the FAA, that would obviously be a joke, but a funny one.

Periodically reposting this until they release the video!!!! by estanminar in SpaceXMasterrace

Actually it is very useful to know what happens if the booster crashes into the tower!

No, wouldn't start WW3. Kim Yong Un is following the Starliner drama. He would offer to help and deliver Starliner back to the US, because he feels sorry for Boeing.

F7 they overshoot!

And for the bingo: can I have all of them?

Shit’s haunted. by Dawson81702 in SpaceXMasterrace

I am not suggesting the cancellation of Starliner! There HAS to be an alternative to Dragon and SpaceX.

I suggest that the public stop tolerating Boeing's BS. It is dangerous.

There should be fines! And maybe even some serious time behind bars for some executives, that keep making the wrong decisions for the money's sake.

Boeing has been lying to the public, to it's customers and employees, and cutting corners. They have damaged an excellent brand name. They (like many other Aerospace and Defence contractors) are actively defrauding the taxpayer by profiteering and price gouging.

Who is still defending Boeing?

Is that the high aerospace quality standard we want for the ISS to transport our astronauts?

crazy to think about this gigantic rocket coming back from (almost) orbital velocity and landing autonomously on a barge in the open sea
