Private space industry experiment again proves to be a complete failure.
We could've been exploring the galaxy already.
But sadly Americans have capitalism fetish.

this guy is afraid of failing a few times before succeeding
Launching billion dollar vanity projects to the moon isn't how you conquer space. Bringing costs down to bring commercial applications to space is how you conquer it
>Bringing costs down to bring commercial applications to space is how you conquer it
Cool. Starship isn't that.
starship is bringing down costs more than 10 fold
What is it then?
Show us the way sensei.
>We could've been exploring the galaxy already.
yeah, but the wrong side won the war
>We could've been exploring the galaxy already.
Lmao not a fucking chance
We might have sent humans to Mars by now, but it'd take a radical rewriting of history for us to have even made a passing attempt at colonizing the solar system.
Elon could make 10 failures and 1 incredible success with the budget of NASA to make 1 mediocre success.
Wrong board
Nah the government, well I'm sorry, the western governments can't handle space exploration. Too much bureaucracy, too much power politics, too much corruption. Like the fact NASA has to inefficiently spread their work across all the states in order to politically keep and secure funding tells you literally everything you need to know about how western governments function (and fail).
>looks over at the Falcon 9
>looks over at the Falcon 9 Heavy
sure op
Keep looking, they're collecting rust as we speak since nobody is using them
so those 84 launches this year were just a mass hallucination?
Yes all those 82 test launches and 2 cubesats are fucking worthless
Look mom he xosted it again!
>all engines function to MECO
>separation works
mission objectives fulfilled, begin optionals
>it go boom
cool, no wreckage to clean up
>BUT IT DIDN'T GO TO THE MOOOOOOON
shut the fuck up retards
we'd be on the moon already if we weren't more worried about some karens needing to turn down their hearing aids and the goddamn fish and birds that are all going to be dead by 2030 anyway

I was working on ideas like ion power generators using interstellar ions to generate power for deep space travel.
The principles were that through the induction of ions through conductive inlets, one would generate current to generate magnetic fields for the shielding and onboard power generation.
