minus-squarePeppycito@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·5 days ago Like deliver 100 tonnes to the moons surface in a single ship? When does it arrive? Something as spectacular as that they’re probably launching twice a week. Not as good as my rocket though, it’s powered by Ai and does three laps around the moon powered by bandwidth lazers.
minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-25 days agoThe point is no one has done what they are trying to do. Hur dur NASA got to the moon and SpaceX cant even do it is an apples to oranges comparison. NASA used a fully expendable system and delivered about 15 tonnes to surface. SpaceX is building a fully reusable (in theory) first and 2nd stage that can deliver 100t to the surface. You cant compare it. Edit: My bad - thats 100t cargo to the moon, actual mass including ship is over 200t. Apollo was still ~15t
