Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

How's Musk doing that?

He's not, real engineers are. That's my point.

Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

And the lower stages?

Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
