If I hike a mountain I’m also closer to the Moon. That doesn’t mean I will land there any soon.
Lol, yeah sure. Years behind, not demonstrated number of claims that are prerequisite to anything more than suborbital flights but yes, totally brings them closer to the Moon (and MARS !)…
Again, the booster “successfully” ditched.
Starship “successfully” ditched and blown up.
Whatever gets the clicks and the hype I guess.
That does sound like a reasonable test. Clearly nothing will be ready for Luna landing in 2027 but if they are at a point of testing deploying payloads, re lighting engines they are progressing, just not on the timescale they are talking T.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that 3 years from now they will have a ship capable of deploying useful payload to LEO or even geostationary orbit that can can recover.
If they have that it really will deliver on the promises
Also – none of the above should be taken to think mars is achievable this decade
