I might get frustrated watching such waste of capital...
See Atlas ICBM it was so technical new land, nobody know what could happen
Convair lost half of prototypes in explosion, stop that them ? no !
After each failure, Convair analyzed the problem, fix on next prototype put on Launch pad were explode for another reason.
What happen in Boca Chica is the same thing
Musk try to build low cost Dumb Booster, that is low cost re-usable.
he goes for cheap steel with traditionell welding, with low cost parts except the Raptor engines
rumor goes that one SN cost between 2 to 20 million dollars if that's true it really low cost production
For moment the program suffers from Issue with Raptors
like problem with combustion (see yellow discoloration of exhaust) not properly restart, one fire in Turbopump.
the Raptor is the Achilles'heel of Starship program, i hope it not become another "NK-15 under the N1 rocket"
