    OK not right first time, but Starship seems to be making good progress.

    It is extremely ambitious, and no doubt others are deterred by the amount of derisking needed.

    Being first is hardest, this adding is tackling a huge problem. The US Airforce Titan programme cost $100Bn in the sixties to tackle a whole host of problems.

      I've been curious how progress has going since I tuned out all things Elon. Would have been nice if they had a graph of starship attempts & pass/rud over time. That would probably negate the headline
