I'm not totally sure Space X cares what the rest of the industry thinks. This is next-level space engineering compared to what's come before. Who's opinions are we concerned about? ULA? Arianespace? Those companies can't even blow up a space craft successfully because they can't launch them (see, SLS, Ariane 6).

I'm totally sure that SpaceX does not care what the rest of the industry (what's left of it) thinks.

"This is next-level space engineering compared to what's come before."

What an odd thing to say. Are you suggesting that Starship is next-level when compared to Saturn V?

Hehe. I guess people nowadays lack any sort of historical perspective.

That a very odd thing to say.

Starship is more then 2x as powerful as Saturn V. Starship is also designed for reusable.

So even if you consider it non-reusable its still much more powerful then Saturn V.

If 2x the size and major new features isn't 'next level' then what is?

It seems you are missing current perspective and glorifying the past.
