So, this prediction is already wrong, because Starship has already made it to orbital velocity, it’s just that the lowest part of the orbit, the perigee, was deliberately placed inside the atmosphere so if there was loss of control the spaceship would reenter at a known location because of atmospheric drag instead of potentially becoming a hazard. They could have slightly changed the trajectory in order to have the low point of the orbit above the top of the atmosphere, but they deliberately chose not to for test safety reasons. So this person is failing to predict the past, not simply failing to predict the future. Assuming they actually are some sort of aerospace engineer, this is a fine demonstration of the fact that argument from authority is a pretty bad way to reason.

By the way, Starship will never make it into orbit.
