Lol, if anyone believes this nonsensical goal, they are beyond reason.
Do you think they will ever make this thing carry the desired 100+ tons to low Earth orbit or 200+ further than that?
Meh. Facebook spent like $80 billion on the metaverse and only like 800 people use it.
$15b is chump change in comparison and we get a rocket capable of going to the moon.
So like 2/3 of SLS and still doesn’t work.

Come on Reuters, you can find better AI models to write your headlines for you. /s
Why post something paywalled and expect to have a real conversation about it

Isn’t Artemis 3 at the end of next year? And this thing still hasn’t had a successful flight? Fortunately they’ll be riding Orion up and down, but getting Starship into a stable orbit by next year will be a huge challenge. Getting it to be a lunar lander/habitat just a year after that will be near impossible.
Artemis IV astronauts will be making history, but I do not envy them riding in that thing.
Would love to see one make it to orbit without some piece of it exploding or falling off.
I mean, that’s a little over a third of SLS for a significantly larger and more complex rocket, and with *significantly* more actual test launches. Like 15 billion is a big number but you gotta keep some sense of scale here, if you asked right at the beginning of Starships development, and you didn’t have any of the warped scale musk generally has, would you say that building the largest rocket ever made that’s also fully reusable and will have a hardware rich process would cost *less* than 10’s of billions?
I can’t wait for another service that’s completely out of my price range.
I feel like I’m living in an Elysium prequel.
Is there any updates on orbital refueling being tested and ready by 2028?
