NASA invented reusable rockets.
The difference between a prototype vehicle and a production vehicle is roughly 2 years and 50 to 75 million dollars.
NASA invented refurbishable shuttles, and refurbishable solid rocket boosters. The Falcon 9 booster can be turned around in 27 days now. It's a whole different tier.
November 2021 will be the 2 year anniversary of the Cybertruck announcement where Elon broke the window, so yeah, it's probably right on track. Soon.
Rockwell built the space shuttle.
Once again while talking to a muskrat I have a difficult time taking the person seriously.
The falcon 9 can not do the things the space shuttle could do. It's not comparable.
I'm sure the cybertruck will be made.... After all ... Tesla made the 2020 roadster that they took deposits on....... Oh.... Wait a minute....
One costs $1 billion per launch. The other costs about $20 million. I would say that being able to launch a craft 50x as often for the same price is a decent level of progress. Think what you want though, I guess.
It would be better if instead of electricity it ran on ground up kitty cats
I like kitty cats.
