Starship Takes Shape. Are We Months Away From A Fully Reusable Rocket System?
On Saturday, September 28th, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stood in front of an audience in Boca Chica, Texas, and presented the fully assembled SpaceX Starship, 50 meters tall and made from shiny stainless steel.
As part of his presentation, Musk showed off the history of the company’s developments so far and gave us an updated view of what Starship and its first stage Superheavy booster will look like when they’re fully operational.
It was actually a pretty short presentation, and there weren’t a lot of details. But he stuck around to answer questions from many space journalists, and we’ve got a much better idea about Starship and what happens next.

And if you missed it, I interviewed Sean Carroll on this week's Open Space:

มีความเสถียรไม่พอ สักวันก็จะพบอุปสรรค์อย่างแน่นอน
Outstanding project implementation plan and overall long-term aspirational vision as well as presentation on the CEO's company address of these by Fraser. I am impressed, hopeful and inspired.
Hey Fraser, will Starship ever be used for SSTO? If so, will there be a point in time where all 6 raptors (vacuum and sea level) are firing?
One this I didnt hear is will there be a heat shields on the prototype. Will it be require for a 20km descend or to at least test tile with launch stresses. Thx
