Payload Capacity - Starship fully reusable，its payload to orbit is twice the next biggest rocket (Saturn V) [1] - Without reusability, Starship's payload to orbit would be approximately 400 tons [1]

8 7 6 5 4 Command start. 2 1 Z mission. And New Shepard has cleared the tower.Beautiful shot. Starting roll program. NS33.We are on our way. 30 seconds. Now you can note on the left hand side of this of your screen.If you want to follow along, you can. You can note the speed, the altitude, and all the major milestones coming up here in just a moment. At this point, BE3 is at 100% power level.We are gaining speed and altitude very quickly. Now, despite the cloud cover, we are tracking New Shepard. Great shot ...

“A lot of people said that reusability couldn't be done. And then there were a lot of people that said even if it could be done, it's a dumb idea, that it wouldn't pay off, that it wouldn't make sense. But we've shown that in fact it is absolutely the right idea”Elon Musk https://t.co/fzCkLntX5v ...

Reusability Focus - Rapid reusability is key for Starship [3] - The goal is to achieve full reusability of the rocket [1] - Aiming for a refly within an hour of landing [3] Operational Requirements - Starship needs to land, refill propellant, and take off again quickly [1][2] - Minimizing inspection time is crucial, potentially around half an hour for visual scanning [2] - Avoiding extensive tile testing (e g, 40,000 tests) is necessary for rapid turnaround [2] Technical Challenges - Preventing tiles from falling off is essential for achieving rapid reusability [3]
