That’s ridiculous, all launch vehicles have cost overruns. And judging Starship by a pre-production vehicle is also hilariously out of touch. Wait until they’re launching payloads and then make your point.
Look, I understand your point. And to be fair, they genuinely are reading new ground with reusable rockets. But not only are competitors catching up, cost overruns and time delays do matter in the context of NASA, considering how their budgets keeps getting negatively affected and the Artemis project is suffering setbacks. They don’t have the scope to tolerate what’s happening.
Sure, it might matter if there were any other alternative… like what, SLS? If you want to talk about cost overruns and time delays, look no further. That rocket costs over a billion per launch. Maybe New Glenn will surprise us?
If there were literally any other way, I’d want NASA to pick it for Artemis. Heck, some sort of lander system assembled in orbit from multiple Falcon Heavy launches would be my vote.
