you're right and you should say it

a meme of Lord Farquaad from Shrek pointing with text reading: "the idiotic hyper-neophile billionaire man-baby thinks a staged chemical surface-to-orbit rocket could ever have the Δv to achieve an interstellar vector"

i’m not going to go on one of my huge tangents but this guy literally has no idea how anything related to space travel works, does he.

this thing can barely get into Earth orbit, and he’s already talking about interstellar travel? with what infrastructure? what engine? chemical???? even if you were to double the size of his “starship”, it wouldn’t even be able to get to anywhere past Jupiter in my opinion

motherfucker has no idea how space actually works the absolute minimum total velocity needed to reach α Cen is something like 120 km/s the Δv of a fully loaded ''Starship'' is about 7 km/s barely enough for a one-way trip to Mars from LEO fucking idiot lmfao space aerospace engineering
