November 19, 20214 yr Author January for the liftoff if anyone is interested. Hopefully the 10th, my birthday. And hopefully the enormous rocket, which will be the biggest ever, doesn't obliterate Starbase. 😵 https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/spacex-starship-launch-date-elon-musk-b1959988.html Edited November 19, 20214 yr by martin-w

November 22, 20214 yr Author This is the full interview. The question and answers are quite interesting re Starship. Interesting explanation as to why they are using stainless steel and why its superiour to carbon composites. And now have developed their own stainless steel 30X. He dealt with the lady astronomer who quizzed him on what he was doing about Starlink interfering with astronomical observations well. Shut her up a treat. Edited November 22, 20214 yr by martin-w
