Aerospace engineer. I'm one of thousands of people who help send people into space. My opinions are my own and do not reflect the official stance of NASA.

@Spaceguy5 Buddy the space shuttle was a terrible program that held spaceflight back 30 years
English
This is one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen. The starship test flight didn't even work. Multiple engines failed and it was clear that it under performed again because Max Q was late.
Space Shuttle, ISS, Orion, Mars rovers, etc are significantly more spectacular

Starship was the greatest thing humanity ever built without AI assistance. It will be the last. Everything after this will be designed with AI. The era of human-only engineering is over.
English
@MannyRu99 Falcon 9 did not use the same approach. It worked on the first try. It was also able to land in less attempts than what were needed for Starship to just try to be a minimum viable product.
Read a book
English
@Spaceguy5 Yeah that’s not an engineering argument…. You completely fail to recognize the massive success of Falcon 9 which used the same iterative approach. Clearly your comments are based on an emotional/tribal take. We don’t do that in engineering.
English
@MannyRu99 The methodology they're using does not work. Period. Lots of corners cut. Highest rate of work place injuries in the industry. More than $15b spent (at least $3b of taxpayer money). Years behind schedule. Still doesn't work after 12 flights. It's embarrassing.
English
@Spaceguy5 For an aerospace engineer you should understand SpaceX’s strategy to stress test and learn quickly to iterate toward success. They demonstrated the wisdom of this approach w/Falcon9 while amateurs were criticizing and laughing during early “failures” exponential learning phase.

@spacenukej @josramirezmor @kmh Pretty pictures don't matter. Results matter. Being functional matters. Otherwise just go watch a fireworks show
English
@josramirezmor @Spaceguy5 @kmh Sooo uhhhh I literally watch these flights live. 33 raptors lifting the biggest rocket ever built isn't spectacular? Reliable and spectacular aren't the same.
English
@spacenukej It's on the 12th flight. They've spent over $15b on it. "This is why you test" only makes sense if it fails once. Not 12 times in a row which puts national security level programs years behind schedule with no success in sight.
English
@Spaceguy5 A bunch of people who didn't read the report are already doing their thing. Multiple engine failures and late max q are exactly why you test. That's the job
English
@EndShina I'm in the US and make 6 figures as an aerospace engineer bro. You're the one behaving like a third world bot being paid to shill Elon
English
So many bot-like accounts spamming abusive replies in here. One outright admitted that they're just trying to shill the upcoming SpaceX IPO (even though it makes no financial sense). Can't wait for the bot operators to lose all their money.
The ones that aren't bots: do better
English
@RottingOnion @Tesler914 @PeterDiamandis @elonmusk I'm not familiar with his posts. I don't follow him.
But he is correct on this one. I would know, I work in the human spaceflight industry and have done work relating to the specific rocket. The HLS situation is dire if this can't be made reusable and high reliability
English
@Spaceguy5 @Tesler914 Well, you seem to have ignored the important fact that @PeterDiamandis is a well-known @elonmusk cult megaretard.
Uneducated and cultish as fuck.
English
@mark_l30741 I helped send people around the moon. What have you done?
English
@Spaceguy5 Everyone keeps knocking the 12 th flight. It’s not a success it didn’t go right. Maybe you’re wrong and that’s why Elon owns Spacex and you sit around and criticize
English
@76drofxeR @Matt_Lowne He's a drug addicted loser with no engineering degree. I have my master's degree in engineering. Yeah I know more than him
English
@Spaceguy5 @Matt_Lowne Wow. It’s amazing that you have better knowledge than Elon Musk. You must have been in the CIA or something.
English
Ngl losing Superheavy on the 12th test flight was really bad. I get that it's a new gen booster but still, there are other rockets with zero failures out there, and Starship Superheavy is flight-tested architecture.
HLS is not happening this decade imo
SpaceX@SpaceX
Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!
English
@Hello_World @Alex4T76 Being reusable makes it require 17 launches to just send a moon lander to the moon on a one way mission. Learn physics.

English
@Syntex3666 All of them are more impressive than this. Wtf are you talking about?
English
@Spaceguy5 “Mars rover”
Now I know you larping this hate because wtf you mean “mars rover”??? Which fucking one?
English
@Alex4T76 Bro most rockets need 1 test flight to be successful and enter operation. 12 is embarrassing
English
@Spaceguy5 Its still in its development program, your comparing it to programs/vehicles that are either retired or have been developed for over 10 - 15 years. Starship started in 2019.
English
@raf_trades_ They have literally been doing the same test multiple times and it keeps failing in the same ways, dude. They didn't get to the point where they can try orbit yet.
English
@Spaceguy5 Literally the first test of its size you act like they’ve been doing the same tests multiple times 💀
English
@DboneSmacky I literally work in the space industry and I know more about this rocket than you, including lots of non public stuff. I helped send people around the moon a few weeks ago, what have you done?
English
@Spaceguy5 Imagine having a name like spaceguy and being so out of the loop on space travel development.
English
@Tesla_Analyst Starship is nowhere near as powerful a Saturn V. It can't even leave earth orbit in one launch. What are you smoking? Saturn V also took significantly less launches to work. Saturn V was already landing Apollo 17 at flight 12.
Y'all are gonna lose a lot of money
English
SpaceX is NASA in its golden early days — except they’ve already surpassed the Saturn V, and done it with fully reusable rockets.
And they’ve only just started cooking.
Once they go public, they’ll unlock trillions in capital markets financing — a scale of private investment that even NASA never achieved, even inflation-adjusted.
English
@belac46 @OneFutureOfMany I can't wait for Starship to get shut down so all the uneducated tech bros who don't actually know anything about spaceflight move onto a new grift and stop pretending like they know more than actual aerospace engineers who do human spaceflight as a career
English

5 years later and we cheer when engines fail, boosters can’t land, and the Indian Ocean is the receiver of the fiery space junk. IPO soon…..
English
@FoundAt5280 That's bullshit. There's others that can survive more than one depending where it is. Except the others don't really suffer engine failures. Starship gets a lot of them.
The booster was lost. Heat shield didn't protect the engine section.
Elon fans are so full of shit
English
@Spaceguy5 Starship is designed to still work even with multiple engine failures. Unlike every space craft created by every other company in history. It actually met all of its objectives , even with the engine failures.
English
@BritVeteranU I'm an aerospace engineer in the space industry. He's raising good points from a common sense and engineering perspective. Y'all are just angry that the program is not going well
English
@Spaceguy5 Not a great thread, it’s an opinion, a pretty poor one by a highly biased account who only posts about Elons companies. So, from a purely scientific point of view, a biased poster who doesn’t seem to understand that a solid booster, vs a proposed reusable booster are different.
English
Great thread, raises a good point. This is bad for Starlink profitability and horrible for HLS which requires 17 (possibly more) launches for one mission. Naturally the replies are full of bots and angry grifters who just want the IPO to make them rich. They hate valid criticism
LostFundamentals@LostFundamental
Starship Test Flight 12 showed $SPCX is still a long way from reusability. Booster engine and burnback failure and ship engine failure. Picture is Starship pre splashdown. Will require significant maintenance. Booster 300 miles off target. 45tn payload vs 100tn target. 1/3
