On the other hand, Starship is not fast enough, if I recall correctly, SpaceX claimed to Nasa that they’d be landing on the moon by now
They definitely have their setbacks and delays. They sure keep trying though.
They do, but being slower than Orion to even get to the orbit is not a great look
Starship is a terrible idea and vehicle. The fact they keep trying to make the thing work is just because Musk is burning government funds. It has no chance of making it to the moon, let alone mars.
It sure is questionable, but so far each test got further than the last one, so while I wouldn’t be making any bets on it working, I’m not going to discount it either. People said the same thing about reusable rockets and now it’s no big deal. They might have a chance, as long as the president of SpaceX manages to keep Musk away from it.
