What SpaceX just did with Flight 4 Starship Heat Shield made NASA embarrassed!
What SpaceX just did with Starship Heat Shield made NASA embarrassed! How will Starship avoid the follies that the Space Shuttle suffered from in regards to its thermal protection system? The Space Shuttle was supposed to be rapidly reusable, but as Nasa discovered, the thermal protection tiles needed significantly more in-depth checkouts between flights. This contributes to giving Shuttle a typical minimum turnaround time of four or five months. If SpaceX aims for rapid reuse with minimal or no safety checks between launches, how can they upgrade the TPS on Starship to meet those requirements? #starshiplaunch #spacex #starship #starshipexplosion #starshipift4 #starshipspacex #starshiplaunchlive Credit to : SpaceX Community
