The original post was trying to make SpaceX's system approach into a stupid "proof" that the Apollo approach couldn't have worked.
I said nothing of the sort. You go ahead and continue thinking you're an expert, but based on the doot ratios of our conversation, I know the score.
You certainly don't know anything about rocket ballistics.
Wow. Coming from the same guy who said you can just point your telescope at the moon and see the Apollo lander stages? Have fun with your life bud. Bye.
By "original post" I was referring to the abysmal video. Were you in favor of it or not?
The fact is, I am an expert. I helped write Boeing's proposal for a 1970s RASV revival back around 1997, which predates SpaceX by 5 years. (Kistler Aerospace had worked out a fully-reusable 2-stage approach in the early 2000s, but ran out of money before they could make it happen.) But I was a Musk supporter well before he turned his attention to reusability. You happen to be allergic to expertise. The fact that you get upvotes only means you have company in your lack of understanding. Not uncommon here. As for the score, I have done the work, and you are only doing the words.
And you still don't know anything about rocket ballistics, which is the whole area that the SpaceX approach has a problem with, in getting to the Moon. It is called "rocket science," you know.
