Reden wir über #Starship. Dem ganz großen Ding vom großen Elon.
Wenn er es schaffen würde, das Starship in den Orbit zu bringen, im Stück, dann ist die größere Herausforderung, es heil wieder runter zu kregen.
Das Ding ist ein riesen Brocken und sehr schwer. Es hat noch den Treibstoff an Bord, der zum abbremsen und landen gebraucht wird.
Das heißt, Starship bremst sich durch Atmosphäre nicht so schnell ab, heizt sich aber dadurch länger auf.
Heiße Kiste Elon. Try Baby!

Paintwork on the deflector didn’t turn out too great, so I removed the paint, then used masking tape to create a template for a styrene version, painted it copper and glued it into place. Much better! (Note to self: paint this part before gluing into place then it won’t be as bloody awkward). #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx

For Starship to go to #Mars 🔴, you’ve got to get #Starship tankers ⛽ on orbit and perfect orbital refueling. #SpaceX will have to perfect the #robots 🤖 that will help build spacecraft #LandingPads and human #habitats on the Martian surface, prospect for water 💧 underground, and convert the water and carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere into vast reservoirs of super-cooled oxygen and methane for the Starships’ return voyage to Earth. forbes.com/sites/kevinholdenpl
