With just about a hundred ships, roughly a month's worth of China's shipbuilding output… you can scale this to over a thousand launches of a 100T class rocket per year. Without building a proper Starship once. You can launch the whole Starlink every 10 days. It werks. https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/2075454289925849379/photo/1
@teortaxesTex it isn't really YOUR proposal, is it @teortaxesTex
My humble proposal for the Chinese space program and specifically CALT: multi-core net-capture Starship killer. You have the engine, you have the proof of concept, you can make the ships. The only issue is Falcon Heavy-style integration. Go on, what's one more production line? https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/2075449769413967983/photo/1 https://twitter.com/CNSpaceflight/status/1658499011148656640
of course, weather is a bitch, so much of the time this system would be non-operational. but… what could have been… https://x.com/mi_utaha/status/2075451010999619675?s=20 https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/2075455830221074690/photo/1
