Did I ever remotely suggest that Starship is cheating physics? I'm not trying to prove anything beyond my personal disbelief (experience). If one has worked in technology for a long time they may agree or disagree.

Yes, the economics behind the Falcon may be favorable. They're a private company; we don't know. I only mentioned that from a physics point of view the Falcon hasn't shown much progress in heavy launches. It's a great rocket system, obviously, and watching those boosters land was one of the highlights of my life! So not taking anything away from them. Again, we're talking TWICE as powerful as anything that has ever flown all in one jump.

Starship is Elon's ego hobby. Just my opinion. Not fact. We'll have to come back here in a year or two! Thanks for the comment!
