Not a fan of Musk here...

But a BIG fan of space travel (live long and prosper)

The Starship has been sent up 9 times, this is true...

But it has NEVER had the mission goal of reaching orbit, YET...

In it's FOURTH flight, the Starship successfully navigated it's way back to Earth and successfully touched down in the ocean which was the most possible success...

Some of the early tests were just to see if the mains would work right...

And each mission introduces new challenges to the flight so even the ones that end in BOOM may have accomplished other goals.

I watched man on the moon on a 13" B&W TV... and I'll be damned if I don't watch a man on Mars in glorious 85" 4K before I die.

For us early X'ers and late Boomers, space was the biggest thing going.
