SpaceX, Starship, Starlink, and Mars!

After seeing how much interest the James Webb post has generated I thought SpaceX and the Starship program might be fun to trade posts on. SpaceX is looking to launch the first full version of the orbital Starship in March. Bigger than the Saturn 5, 30 some engines at 300,000 lbs thrust each, and returning vehicles back for reuse.

Pretty darn exciting! First full flight should be spectacular no matter what happens.

Of the many of Elon Musks' many enterprises the one that I'm most interested in is Starlink. Waiting patiently for the hardware costs to come down which they are and the new dish size of 12"x19" is not a deal breaker for trailer use.
