Well, Starship really has the potential to be completely revolutionary.
00:03
It's going to be a real game-changer, just because of its scale,
00:06
because of its economics, and because of its capabilities.
00:09
All three of those reasons will really change what we do in space.
00:13
T-minus five, four, three, two, one.
00:18
Zero, one.
00:30
So, I can't emphasize enough how big this rocket is.
00:56
It's almost twice as big as the biggest rocket we have ever successfully launched.
01:01
Right now, when we launch Crew Dragon, we could take four people in there, up to the space station.
01:06
Starship, theoretically, could carry maybe as many as 100 people at a time.
01:11
That's a big change. So this is a big step forward, and it's a gargantuan rocket.
01:21
If you look at an airliner flying from point A to point B,
01:26
the fuel cost is over 90% of the cost of that mission.
01:30
Starship, because it's 100% reusable, if it can achieve rapid, affordable reusability,
01:37
has the promise to get us more like that airliner, right?
01:41
Where the cost of the fuel is actually the major cost of the launch.
