Space enthusiasts seem quite immune to politics compared to the Tesla consumers, they still hang on his every word when it comes to Starship.

As an ignorant outsider who only watches these Starship launches and doesn't do Kerbal, seems to me like another Cybertruck, where he after super successful model goes all in for big and cool (to him) even if it doesn't work



Comparing Starship and Cybertruck is a bit silly, the industries are just incredibly different in every single way.

The reason why you have to go big for Starship is just inherently true based on physics.

And the problem with Cybertruck isn't that it's 'big' or 'cool'.


In addition you don't need to worry as much about people scratching the side of your satellite after parking using SpaceX rockets.

(Driving a Tesla is subject to public scrutiny from others both while driving and when parking)
