    Starship is a terrible idea and vehicle. The fact they keep trying to make the thing work is just because Musk is burning government funds. It has no chance of making it to the moon, let alone mars.

      It sure is questionable, but so far each test got further than the last one, so while I wouldn’t be making any bets on it working, I’m not going to discount it either. People said the same thing about reusable rockets and now it’s no big deal. They might have a chance, as long as the president of SpaceX manages to keep Musk away from it.
