Elon Musk Hates Flanges - Starship Update 2022
A follow up of my takeaway from the first official Starship Update in 2 years. The last time they did one of these the vehicle on display was Starship Mk1 which exploded in a pressure, but since then SpaceX has progressed to exploding prototypes during fueling tests, exploding prototypes during flight tests, and hoping to not explode a booster during an orbital test.
So now we have a full Starship stack on display and the most important updates in my mind are the Raptor 2 progress and the clarification of the role of Boca Chica vs Florida vs Sea Platforms for the long term program.
Watch the full update here, prepare for dad jokes.
