I’m not saying they stole the plans through industrial espionage, I’m just wiggling my eyebrows suggestively while glancing in the direction of the suspiciously similar looking booster.



I promise you the fancy technology is in the electronics, software, and implementation, and not the fact that the cylinder with legs looks like another cylinder with legs


It’s a literal clone of starship, down to the flaps and grid fins.


Is this the same company that had their booster fly into the air when they were trying to static fire test it?


They must have forgotten to steal the plans for the hold down clamps.


Well, that kinda shows a potentially another speed "advantage" - less paperwork and reduced safety requirements.
