[Starlink] the best written article on the starship launch

[Dave Taht]

 is here: https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/so-what-was-that-was-starships-launch-a-failure-or-a-success/
with a thousand comments.

It ends with:

"I turned 50 years old yesterday. In those five decades, we have gone
from flying a fully expendable Saturn V rocket to the beginnings of a
fully reusable Starship rocket. Much remains to be done, and Starship
is a work in progress. But this is historic. No one really knows what
our planet, our orbit, or our Solar System will look like with
low-cost launch, frequent access to space, and essentially no
constraints on mass. We have never experienced anything like that
before.

This is a far more wonderful and wild time in space than any that came
before. There is incredible opportunity and peril. The future is
unknowable but tantalizing.

So I no longer have any regrets about missing Apollo. I am thrilled to
be alive at this very moment in human history."
