You can feel the moon and Mars getting closer.
Elon’s StarShip is many things but the 2 things that stuck out
in his presentation were simple but are worth thinking about
Elon repeated that just getting to orbit is hard.
A combination of Earth’s high gravity and thick air makes it hard.
And in his simulation it appeared that his stubby hypersonic
wings can move in 3 dimensions, changing the center of drag
for reentry to make the StarShip more stable.
Amazing.
Jeeze, , It DOES look like a silo – complete with the barn to its left!
