We are coming up in 7 years since the first Falcon 9 landing and no one else is even close

DearMoon is exciting. It’s gonna mog the fuck out of NASA by showing that relatively “normal” people can fly in space, too.

>/sfg/ tries to go 1day without doomposting Starship challenge (Impossible)
Ok but real talk, it is disappointing that B7 testing has taken so long, but understand that a failure here could set the program back several months if it happens on or near the launch mount.
Also, we’ve been told since the start of the year that a 2022 launch was 50/50, Eric Berger hinted at it on a podcast, and a lot of leakers on Elle (L) 2 said the same.
Furthermore, we knew B7 would need extra work done because the outer 20 engines had incomplete shielding, so it would have to be rolled back eventually.
Ever since SLS flew /sfg/ has been in full Doomer mode about Starship.
