Shuttle War!

[Elon puff]

Near the front?

 

[SM84CE]

Just a drone, for whatever purpose. It can serve as an assembly helper, and is even capable of bringing the crew pod (the detachable 6 capsules at the top/front) back to Earth from Mars orbit. So just my multipurpose gadget

 

[Elon puff]

So it's like an orbital tug but you can use it for transporting crew?

 

[SM84CE]

Basically, yeah.

 

[Elon puff]

Basically, yeah.

But... WE NEED TO GO SMOLLER

the plan there is either full of tanks or solar panels..

Because it is 2 years old.

Both tempting options.

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Both tempting options.

yup the one option would give me spare fuel and other one lighter and more power (thou i think i've already spammed it with rtg)

Not to mention that I’ve always though a shuttle with solar panels sticking out is kinda weird. But that is just me, nevermind.

more weird than CST 100 butt solar panels??

Eh, Hard decision... .

Discovery 1 and 2 both have an entire line of solar panels.

You maybe didn't notice some engines,
At the end wired bug hapend so i didn't get 100x100 orbit but you will see there is enough fuel

uh TtTOtW that is the big and thicc ITS before it got smaller (starship) right?

I wonder how they are doin now in their 15km hop...

Yes it is. It's fun to speculate how long it would have taken, given what we know now how tricky the carbon fibre stuff was...

They lost some time because during a static fire, an engine ate itself and pooped out the molten metal, but the rocket didn't blow up.
The engine ate itself because a piece of flying concrete chopped the engine control wire.
So SpaceX is trying to make two things work right now:
Starship and;
Taking off without launchpad that has flame diverters. (Important for Mars!)
