Comment Re: Cost per KG compared to Falcon 9 / Heavy? (Score 1) 67

They are not returning Starships back to Earth and reusing them.....hell I have doubts they'll be able to land it in one piece at all. The only way it makes economic sense for Starship to be used as a payload delivery platform is if Starship can be not only reusable, but rapidly reusable. It's honestly the most idiotic design for an Earth to orbit platform one could think of. It's like if some dude, with no experience in the field what-so-ever, dreamed up some sci-fi rocket to get him to Mars. But he he had enough money that people took him seriously enough that the US government threw money at him.
