Good piece. #elonmusk is such a grifter.

“The lesson here is that SpaceX somehow needs to make Starship significantly more robust and lighter by well over a hundred tonnes if it is to conduct even one successful mission, let alone achieve constant reuse — which, let’s be clear, is basically impossible.
