@benoitdenayer @navincho @katlinegrey Essentially, yes. Great engineering talent, but should focus on reusable rockets for purpose of a permanent human base on the moon and self-sustaining city on Mars.

@EMostaque @Yuhu_ai_ 4.20 is doing very well on this front. Parsed physics vs hearsay very well when asked about the probable fuel impact of Starlink on a 1 hour 737 flight (~0.13%).
