Works better when someone asks a question about it. Am I supposed to presume your side of the argument too? For instance why use Methane? There's no advantage for it. It has a specific impulse that is 16% less that of Hydrogen. The principle argument anyone has come up with has been methane is...

I did stick to science. I can tear apart Musks scientific claims about his rockets. Where would you like to start? Perhaps his use of RP1 fuel?

Its not even possible to land someone on Mars. Chemical fuel isn't efficient enough to enter Martian Orbit for any spaceship more than 1.6% payload to 98.4% fuel. Roughly. That is to say, to get 100,000kg to Mars you have to use 10,000,000 kg of fuel. Simply unimaginable

The only people who think SpaceX can get past Geostationary are people who don't know how short SpaceX is in dV. SpaceX can't even go to the moon let alone Mars.

Starship has had 100% explosion record. No one in their right mind would fly in it unless you want to die. Starship uses Methane fuel. Might as well be the stone age. Musk is a liar full of lies and propaganda. He has done nothing. Will do nothing. And will soon be revealed to be a fraud while...

And why should we? I love space as much as any other wannabe astronaut. But space is a massive waste of money, a sinkhole. There is no profit there, and we probably can never get heavy payloads past the moon because of chemical propellant issues.

The most overlooked part of climate change is the human element. What do you think people with nuclear weapons or millions of guns and literally billions of bullets are going to do when THEY are told THEY are the ones who have to exit the lifeboat so everyone else can live? Serious question.

You're welcome. I can break it down more thoroughly as people reply. Basic take aways. 1) SpaceX has done nothing new. 2) SpaceX can't master Hydrogen so claims that bad fuels are big achievements in discovery. 3) SpaceX can't cut the cost of dV in space. 4) SpaceX can't build complex...

This is just one of a lot of lies. Falcon Heavy = 3.4mil lbs thrust. Orbiter = 6.78mil lbs of thrust. Other lies include: 1) First reusable rockets - Orbiter was reusable. 2) First reusable spacecraft - Orbiter was reusable. Other spurious claims like "First private company to do something."...
