Elon Musk once again shares ambitious plans to develop the Starship program.
According to him, after 6 years 7, the missile will be able to launch more than 24 times a day, which means almost every hour. However, he calls such speed peaks, while a stable rhythm will actually be closer to 10 flights a day.
The size of such plans is great. The former Apple Phil Bazel employee calculated that once the star launched a star requires about 14 GW of chemical energy. If the rocket starts for hours, it will provide 336 GW a day about 1.7 times the daily energy consumption of Los Angeles.
Even when reducing the launch rate to 10 daily, this corresponds to the energy of more than 4.5 million houses a day.
Therefore, the Starship project not only sets techniques, but also energy calls can significantly affect the future of the cosmic industry.
