Is it true that starship will have less payload weight to LEO than all other SpaceX rockets?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think so.

Even Starship v1 (which have already ceased production) had an estimated payload to LEO comparable to a reusable Falcon Heavy (~50 tonnes). Starship v2 (scheduled to launch in January) has a projected payload to LEO around 100 tonnes, and v3 will be higher still.

Okay then why did they only launch a banana as cargo? I thought the EV was a standard test payload

please properly censor their name, you can see their name by just upping the brightness of the image.

That was Berger's doing, not mine :)

Even if it were properly censored, it would not be difficult to find, and people have already done so.
