If Nasa was to develop Starship, it would take decades just to launch a single prototype! Just look at Artemis, what a waste!
Problem with most nations in developing new innovation in rocket is that, they are so afraid of failures!
Not Elon Musk! I mean, his failures are very public! From the first prototype up to the latest one, Starship has seen so much failures!
Even SN15 is a failure! Why, because upon landing, the raptor engines was actually leaking fire!
But here's the thing! Elon Musk need the data! And he is willing to see so much failures to get data!
From SN15, we can see that the raptor engine is far from reliable! However, Spacex team will examine all the data and come out with improvements!
I think given how Starship has progressed, we should see a full commercial Starship by end of this year! Yeah, that's mind boggling fast!
But i think we should see at least one Starship prototype getting blown up every month or so!
Like i said, every failure is a success for Elon Musk!
