Hi Jim, great article. As a mechanical engineer, and a fan of history, seeing all the praises thrown at this failure of a launch was driving me mad. Anyone who knows anything about space flight or the history of the Apollo program would know that they managed to not only clear the tower with Apollo 4 but get into orbit. All that without Ansys, AutoCAD, Solidworks, using slide rules.
People are going to lose their lives on this pathetic rocket. One only needs to compare all the means of aborting launch Apollo had at its disposal with Starship. https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/80646972.pdf
Anyway, ignore the haters and Musk bootlickers, keep up the good work. Cheers
