If he would realy want to know why Starship is build from steel he could search for that, e.g. "why starship steel" yields tons of articles on that topic. I asked a similar question the other day* and folks were kind enough to answer. Fact is that there are many here who are in the enthusiast-to-expert range of knowledge on this and other topics... and others like me that are basically interested Neanderthals who enjoy talking to the highly educated. Point being: sometimes its fun to chat with the community, even when a dry 'google' might reveal the answer. *I may not be a full-on troll, but I do have a snarky sense of humor.

You could see the inside of each Draco thruster firing and see the cool-down after each pulse. Each of those little thrusters produces the equivalent force of a 90 lb weight.

It’s not what he’s asking, it’s the way he’s asking, like he’s spoiling for a fight. He seems to think he’s so much smarter than actual rocket scientists and seems ver confrontational in how he “asks” questions. those are the signs of a troll. It’s ok to ask legitimate questions.
