"The, the degree to which Starshipis a revolutionary technology is not well understood in the world. "It's the first time that there's been any rocket design, where full rapid reusability is possible - well, full reusability at all is possible, or full reusability at all is possible," Musk's word salad continued. "This is the first design where a reusable rocket is one of the possible - with success - is one of the possible outcomes.""
"If there are historians in the future, they'll look back at Starship and say it's one of the most profound things that's ever happen," he boasted. "You can think of historic events as, where would they fit in the evolutionary hall of fame? You got things like single cell life, multi-cellular life, capturing a mitochondria and then also on that scale, probably in the the top ten, is life becoming multi-planetary."
Elon Musk praised SpaceX's Starship as a revolutionary design that enables full rapid reusability and could rank among the most profound milestones in the evolution of life, framing multi-planetary existence as one of the top ten events. The remarks came during a podcast exchange with influencer Katie Miller. Starship has experienced significant launch and landing failures, with explosions severe enough that NASA is seeking alternative vendors for its planned Moon landing. Musk continued to emphasize Starship's potential despite those setbacks, asserting that the design makes true reusability a possible outcome and could transform humanity's long-term trajectory.
