Hi Fraser, I have a question regarding Starship. It seems that the initial orbital flight will be done without solar panels. Does the batteries have enough energy for it? Looking into the future, where do you think they will install solar panels?
Yeah, the batteries should be fine for the shorter flights. For longer flights it'll deploy solar panels like other space missions. I'm not sure where they'll go. :-)
