Those Kerbals are adorable. Now it's going to be even harder to put them into near-deathtraps in the name of science.

You can stick it on a table? I look forward to the upcoming Starlink terminal with optional umbrella attachment.

It's very strange to watch a full blown manufacturing plant spring from the ground, more or less.

I don't know that the Gov would necessarily appreciate a company getting several dozen to a hundred people killed on a semi-regular basis. NASA would definitely protest the optics of it, at the very least.

I wish I could've seen the launch live, but I had work. Even so, it was an incredible sight.

A bit of duct tape for those little holes and it'll be ready for launch.

I had everything lined up perfectly, then got failed for going too fast at .08 m/s. KSP has spoiled me.

Self-fulfilling prophecy is fun!

If they're lights, it looks a lot like they're shining in an atmosphere.

Well if Starship works out we'll certainly be returning to the Moon with style.

Starship's capabilities may exist nowhere else except in pretty infographics and cute speeches at this point, but Musk already has one reusable cost-effective spacecraft, which is one more than everyone else. I daresay he's at least somewhat qualified to say that Starship is a viable idea.

Not quite the same, but if there ends up being enough demand for such smaller flights, I could see SS being used in a sort of international/regional airport type setup. Haul large groups of people into orbit and drop them off at a hub of sorts, and then ferry individual groups to their destination with smaller craft that don't have to be built for travel to and from the Earth's surface.

Half a ton of stainless steel, Half a ton of cryo, That's the way development goes, pop goes the vessel! (To the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel")

As amazing as SpaceX's development is, it's somewhat sad to see NASA with its history of launch vehicle development slowly degenerate into a mess of pork projects and lack of vision.
