And as we all have seen, the only thing that worked as Elon expected was the Hypetrain, everything else was just a very expensive firework.
I'm so curious to see how many attempts it will take them to accept that the whole project can't work and never will.
150 tons into LEO with full reuseability will not work. So far they've flown without any payload (some dummies maybe, but nothing that comes close to the expected payload capacity) and even so it hasn't even been enough to enter an stable orbit.
The superheavy booster is just what his name said, it's super heavy.
And it can't use all of it's fuel because it still has to save a lot for the landing burn.
To meet expectations, they have to reduce the mass of the first stage by 250 to 300 tons.
