A depiction of what V3 Starship will look like (image from Elon himself). The booster will have an integral hot staging section, that doesn't get jettisoned during re-entry and landing. 3 grid fins, with the 3rd fin on the windward side. The gridfin actuator compartments will be inside the fuel tank, placing the fins further away from the hot staging ring.
And Raptor 3 engines that use their own regenerative cooling for re-entry heat shielding.
@StarProphet I've seen the damage DEI has done at Raytheon firsthand and Covid forced a lot of the competent old guard out. The MIC isn't run by the same people that made the SR-71 or the F-15 anymore. Russia and China are set to pass us by leaps and bounds with the combo of uncensored AI and meritocracy in their institutions.
The kikes' only shot was to infiltrate Russia but that door's been closed since Russia's SMO kicked off. The Chinese are extremely resistant to kike subversion.
Stoke Aerospace Nova rocket:
Stoke Aerospace's regeneratively cooled heat shield for its reusable upper stage.
Both of Nova's stages are fully reusable. Nova is a fully reusable rocket with a payload capacity of 3 metric tons to LEO.
