Amazing. Clearly the best option for Artemis if there was no illogical rush to beat China to the Moon.
I assumed this would need some sort of launch abort system?
So they will bring to the moon a ship full of empty space?
Renders, because they’ve got little else to go on right now?
Nice lawn chairs.
I think Charlie Bucket got in trouble for touching the ceiling in there.
What in the hell?
Jesus and everyone brigaded me when i said HLS is impractical, but look at this render!
Why do we need that much empty space? Space is unbelievably valuable on a spacecraft, and right now we’re essentially giving each astronaut a small apartment’s worth of space.
Where’s the cargo? Where is anything of value? Why are we using 11 starship launches to send a fuckton of empty space to the lunar surface?
That seems wildly inefficient doesn’t it? All that open space seems so strange.
“Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on”
The inside doesn’t look optimized for storage, looks like an office or something?
That looks… impractical. I’m no space-flight expert but I’d assume there’s a reason they haven’t gone for the high-ceiling architecture on previous rockets
It’s bullshit and Elon is just making things up
Ooo they should make one that’s in pieces at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico or Indian Ocean
why risk everyone falling off their chair or things flying around in a huge space that just doesnt make sense.
This would be the largest habitable cross-section of any spacecraft ever made. I doubt SpaceX knows what the layout is going to look like, I bet NASA is going to dictate what the space looks like when they know what their mission set is going to be.
This render is just advertising how much room they can have for activities
I honestly don’t know how anyone can look at these pics and come away thinking „yeah, that looks legit“.
That’s the odd benefit of using Starship for something it was never designed for.
There’s so much more room for activities,!
Where’s the room where Elon keeps his gaggle of 13 year olds?
Do they need spacesuits and helmets all the time ?
That’s a lot of wasted…. everything. A lot of extra surface area for leaks, a lot of extra air that needs to be there, a lot of empty space you could put literally anything else in. I hope they have actual specs to justify the size, because that can’t be fully loaded with everything they need to do what they want to do on the moon’s surface.
I have never been more afraid to see a touchscreen.
Looks a bit like one of the ships‘ interiors in Expanse, but without anything useful.
For a sub about space, commenters seem to be very anti space exploration and innovation
Yeah I’ll take 40 for things that won’t happen.
The last I saw, HLS schematics show three decks rather than one open space. I would think these are marketing pieces to show how much pressurized volume there is rather than the actual deck layout.
How many of these are they gonna blow up before they build one that actually launches?
Reddit losing their mind about what appears to be a render made in 25 minutes
Coming “soon”… around the same time as self-driving cars from Tesla
It is a well known fact that carbon lawn chairs is the most comfortable and safest way to launch humans into space on a rocket.
Lol! LMAO even.
Tired of these dumb renderings. Tons of empty space, a tall ass lander (those never ever tip over), and lawn chairs.
These are updated renders of the mockup that’s existed at Starbase for years. NASA astronauts and NASA officials and various others have been inside. The info below confirms these renders and adds to them.
TheSpaceEngineer [u/mcrs987](/user/mcrs987/) did a cutaway and a YT 360º video of the crew quarters, etc, in November 2024. The new official renders show he clearly had info from someone who’d been inside the Starbase nosecone mockup. This was combined with the limited photos that had been released. Thus we can believe the lower deck between the main deck and the cargo bay he shows is accurate. Also, Joe Tegmeyer has been inside and xeeted that the new renders jibe with what he saw back then except the flight deck has been added and the sleeping cubicles rearranged.

„OK and for the crew we have these safety seats with integrated oxygen and safety eject!“
„Too expensive, make it cheaper!!!“
„OK, soft reclining function pilot seats“
„I SAID CHEAPER!!!“
„Alright boss, lets do camping chairs, and paint them so they look sci-fi“
„Perfect!“
Maybe you guys should write letters to SpaceX with all your good ideas. They could definitely use your expertise since they seem to be lacking.
Hmm, I know it’s based on the regular Starship and all, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to just shorten the overall height of the HLS so that it doesn’t need as many refueling ships and to save space?
A page from Star Citizen’s Great Book of JPEGs. He could set up a macro-transactions store to continue the grift.
Lamo, no. I bet my salary it won’t look anything like this inside.
I have a LOT of questions about those legs.
1- it looks like there is hardly any clearance off the surface, so astronauts won’t be able to go under the engines. More importantly, this implies that the ring of thrusters up the top need to be powerful enough and have enough propellant to lift Ship off the surface for at least some altitude (10m? 20m?) before the Raptors fire. Was that always a given? I thought maybe high enough legs plus clearing of rocks etc would make getting off the moon different from landing on it?
2- four legs might be less stable than three?
3- are the legs spread far enough over the surface to prevent Ship from toppling over? Do they have enough ability to compensate for the slope of the regolith? What about boulders, crevices, etc?
4- I had been thinking of two sets of 3 legs: one set of wide ones, that touch down first. Then a second set similar to the ones shown (but a bit higher, and only 3). Those would touch the surface only after the outer legs do a controlled buckle. The outer legs then still provide stability. Wouldn’t something like this be required to provide a robust landing?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
Is there really a point to having those tablesdenches and stools?
I bet my great great grandchildren will enjoy this. Just like the Mars city CG renders. Or the space hotel renders.
108 comments, but the upvotes are zero…I am confused
That’s a lot of dead space in there. Room to bring home moon rocks?
After the cyber truck fiasco, could you imagine flying one of elons ships? Your ass is gonna get stranded in space.
I imagine it will be slightly less spacious in real life once they put it all together, and likely add a few necessities, but i’d feel so uneasy being in those chairs.
Like here I am, trapped in an empty bounce castle with a few bolted down lawn chairs, I hope nothing goes wrong.
The entire point is to flex how spacious it is, but i’m sure the astronauts would feel more secure having the chairs‘ backs against a wall or something.
