Weird, Musk said they'll try to develop a "sweaty" rocket that will use active cooling through small holes instead of tiles. I guess they scrapped it at least for now.

And the fins look way less elaborate than what the initial idea was. Seems like they have to be conservative with their plans

They're only considering it for the flap hinges now.

To think, all this time and hard work over decades and decades and billions of man hours by white men and in the end some niggers will most likely be part of the first crew to Mars. Hopefully Elon doesn't let that happen or Globohomo will officially win.

I doubt these space missions are for anyone else but the most elite.
