Elon Musk

In what regards?

Anything, really.

There isn't a more complex machine.

Yeah, I mean, I'd say that there's pretty much any project I can think of would be easier than this.

And that's why no one has made a rapidly reusable, nobody has ever made a fully reusable orbital rocket.

It's a very hard problem.

I mean, many smart people have tried before, very smart people, with immense resources, and they failed.

And we haven't succeeded yet.

Falcon is partially reusable, but the up to stage is not.

Starship version 3, I think this design

that it can be fully reusable.

And that full reusability is what will enable us to become a multi-planet civilization.

Any technical problem, even like a hydron cloud or something like that, is an easier problem than this.

That old chestnut.

It really wants to explode.

All those combustible materials.

We've had two boosters explode on the test stand.

One obliterated the entire test facility.

So it only takes that one mistake.

I mean, the amount of energy contained in Starship is insane.
