burble,

Baby Starship doo doo, doo doo doo doo

If that’s launching on a Vega-C first stage then the payload must be tiny. Using a disposable 1st stage also feels like it defeats the purpose a bit. It’s cool that they’re at least studying the concept, though.

threelonmusketeers,

Hold up, it’s only 23 m tall? That’s like 1/3 the height of Starship, and 1/27 the mass and volume. Does the Starship architecture even work at that scale?

SpaceX are having enough challenges as it is getting a useful payload fraction out of the 9 m wide Starship, which they have stretched once and plan to stretch again.

burble,

Vega C is 3.4m diameter, vs Falcon 9 at 3.7m. so this is kind of like Zubrin’s dream mini Starship.

I mean, SpaceX can barely make it work with one of the most advanced engines available. I’m not super hopeful for Avio.
