Just imagine NASA tried to do falcon 9 first stage recovery. After the 3rd splashdown you would have congress out for blood for not being able to land the stages. In short an test program is kind of messy. But its 10 times faster and cheaper than trying to run it without fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his wording is kind of weird: I read it as, if this fails Starship probably don't work. While Musk said, first one most likely crash and I think Musk is a bit pessimistic here.

That's not what he said at all: "Today we see whether a new way of flying (falling?) is possible. This has been years in the making, and is a big step towards 100% reusable rockets that can take us to the Moon and Mars. May not work first time, so wish us luck!" Seems upbeat to me. Might work, might fail the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
