Nick Stevens GraphicsSo, lets see if I got this right.
Saturn V, 13 launches, 100% success rate.
SpaceX Starship, 9 launches, 0% success rate.
Seems to me that Nazi rocket engineers are not what they used to be...
Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐@Nick_Stevens_graphics We should compare it with the V2.

The V2 program was understaffed, underfunded and suffered from a lack of access to embargoed material. They did what they could with resources available. The work with the V2 following the war needed to iron out some of the compromised design decisions made during its initial design.
None of that applies to Starship.
And the US has been sending stuff into orbit since Explorer 1 in 1958. A lot of the issues have been sorted, at least until Elmo decided he could do it on the cheap and ignore the work done by previous experts.
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @Nick_Stevens_graphics The joke failed its landing here too 😜 .

I've been known to miss intent on a fairly regular basis. 🙂
