I wonder what (if anything) this means in relation to this other recent headline: "The world's busiest spaceport is about to get a lot quieter, at least for now" https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/08/the-worlds-busiest-spa...
Elon has been quoted in the media recently proposing preposterous launch cadences. He has to, even though they are preposterous as they appear to be. If he had to admit that launch cadence is never going to be much faster than Falcon, he would also be admitting that getting starship to the moon will never happen.
If he had to admit that Starship isn't up to its payload spec, he would have to admit that no matter the launch cadence, starship will never be refueled in orbit, and therefore never get beyond low Earth orbit.
Apollo is the subject of several books on project management for good reason. Starship will become a case study in how not to do it.
