Elon's SpaceX Starship:
Booster 19, V3, performing a static fire. Note the reinforced methane tank dome, and the three gridfins installed in compartments inside the methane tank.
Booster 12, V2, performing a static fire without expendable hot staging ring. The mechanisms for the 4 gridfins are visible in the interstage, which is not pressurized.

“No kidding man. I was working at a place when the Tea Party was going on and Glenn Beck was doing his jesus shit on the mall.”
“I’ve never delt with so much human trash in my fucking life.”
That goddamned fake tip Bible tract (disguised as a $20 tip) really shows how incompetent the American prole is at Christianity.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:
Difference between a V3 booster (on the left), and a V2 booster (on the right):
V3 Starship booster. Integrated hot staging section that is not jettisoned. During hotstaging, the Ship upper stage's 6 engines directly impinge on the reinforced methane tank dome. The three gridfins are installed in compartments inside the methane tank. Reduced re-entry heat shielding in engine section, due to Raptor 3's external regenerative cooling.
V2 Starship booster. Expendable hot staging ring with heat shield on top of interstage. The four gridfins are installed in the unpressurized interstage section. Full re-entry heat shielding in engine section.

"I have so many cool things in my kitchen that I don't need to. I do on occasion but yeah, I prefer to make my own food at home. Certain places I'll still go but usually old school places that locals know about."
Same here. Going to cook some pork chops with Japanese sesame oil on the cast iron skillet pretty soon.Elon's SpaceX Starship:
A Raptor 3 on the left, vs a Raptor 2 on the right:
Raptor 3 is lighter, with a much higher thrust (280tf, 620,000 lbf, 2,750 kN). It's more simplified, with an outer regenerative cooling as well as the usual regenerative cooling in the internal combustion areas. This reduces the amount of heat shielding for the engine section.
The cheapest surrogacy is $70,000 per pregnancy.
In order for artificial wombs to be competitive, their cost must be below that number. With enough industrial scaling, their rental cost might even be in the mere thousands each. Combine that with $10,000-$60,000 per donated egg (depending on the quality of the genetics), and a $30,000 nanny Optimus robot, the price of the whole process can easily outcompete modern American marriage. American McMarriage is so ridiculously expensive, that its cost isn’t even quantified. In contrast, an artificial womb’s cost can be quantified.
Modern American marriage’s price is potentially infinite, as Jeff Bezos’s $150 billion divorce easily shows. It’s basically priced out of the reproductive market, as far as most young men are concerned.
