Now you see the wisdom of Homan's strategy.

By targeting the least sympathetic illegal immigrant criminals you get maximum contrast between the forces of law and anarchy.

If SpaceX Starship had a simpler expendable upper stage (like the Falcon 9), while using its reusable V1 booster, it can fly an Apollo manned Moon mission every month. If someone can build an Apollo CSM and LEM every month that is.

If Starship was fully expendable in both stages, it would be carrying 400+ metric tons to orbit.

But it's not for flags and footprints, so the difficult testing program for full reusability is pursued instead.

@StarProphet I think a lot of people don't appreciate how impressive it is to have a new upper stage ready every two days. That is a truly insane production rate, especially considering that each upper stage engine needs to go through testing.

They are flying to the ISS on a brand new Crew Dragon (the 5th one built). They will be giving it a new name.

Foreigners, waving foreign flags, attacking US troops. Looks like a foreign military invasion to me.

The only limit to Falcon 9's flight rate (avg every 2.3 days) is Falcon 9's expendable upper stage. The booster and fairings are reusable.

But when you have both stages of an orbital rocket being reusable, you can do daily orbital launches.

Imagine what becomes possible if you can launch Saturn V sized payloads every day, instead of once every few years.

Ship 37 quick disconnect adaptor. With a FME adaptor.

Ship 36, 37, and 38 are the three remaining V2 Starship upper stages to attempt flight. Ships 39+ are going to be the 9 engine V3 upper stages, that are almost as tall as the V1 Starship booster.
