Probably a double mis-, as at teh very end they start tell about starships. Anyway, the (obviously yellow) Daily Mail says about building 100 Starships per year, i.e. building 1 SS every 3 days.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7899849/Elon-Musk-says-SpaceX-build-100-Starships-year-ONE-MILLION-humans-Mars-2050.html while Business Insider says about 3 launches per day.https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-plans-1-million-people-to-mars-by-2050-2020-1 On the other hand, to launch starships, they first need to build them, even if reuse them many times, as the travel takes at least 2.5 years P.S.

Wjolcz Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Not a spaceship, but (from Wiki): "At the request of the government, Ford began to decentralize operations and many parts were assembled at other Ford plants as well as by the company's sub-contractors, with the Willow Run plant concentrating on final aircraft assembly. The bugs were eventually worked out of the manufacturing processes, and by 1944, Ford was rolling a Liberator off the Willow Run production line every 63 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." If you can roll a plane (B-24) out of the factory every 63 minutes then you can probably build a stainless steel spaceship every 3 days. I can imagine it requiring A LOT of effort (and money) to get to this rate though, but then I saw an orbital rocket land about 4 years ago. Predicting the future is really hard.

kerbiloid Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I'm now completely confused. What do they call "Martian Invasion"? This happens where? Quote The Thing itself lay almost entirely buried in sand, amidst the scattered splinters of a fir tree it had shivered to fragments in its descent. The uncovered part had the appearance of a huge cylinder, caked over and its outline softened by a thick scaly dun-coloured incrustation. It had a diameter of about thirty yards. He approached the mass, surprised at the size and more so at the shape, since most meteorites are rounded more or less completely. It was, however, still so hot from its flight through the air as to forbid his near approach. A stirring noise within its cylinder he ascribed to the unequal cooling of its surface; for at that time it had not occurred to him that it might be hollow.

.50calBMG Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think the booster actually survived that flip, that was too fast an explosion to be an aerodynamic breakup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
