  • The biggest challenges of Apollo was they had to invent so many new technologies that didn’t exist yet to solve problems, that’s why they needed a nation.

    The advances in computer science alone during that era is rediculous. (listen to the podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon, it’s mind blowing)

    Still they only used 74kb of Memory, that’s smaller than most image files these days.

    SpaceX have 55 years newer and proven tech to work with.

    Apollo took humans around the moon on their 3rd test flight.

    SpaceX is on flight 8 and haven’t reached orbit yet.

    I get they have other goals, but their goals seem easy in comparison, especially if you consider the tech we have now vs the 60’s

    Destin did a video on how flawed the starship is.

    tl:dr you’d need 9 starships if not more to take a crew to the moon because its payload to orbit sucks.
