An off topic input on this Space X adventure
If I had my own company like the Space X. I would give my engineers a task. Develop a spacecraft that can be launch whatever weather it is and from any place on earth. Furthermore develop some engine which makes it possible to use 2-3 types of fuel. Like an engine who can: 1. Taking the spacecraft from earth to space and 2. Transport in our solar system and 3. Transport outside our solar system Number 2 and 3 shall give the spacecraft a speed who shall be 10-15 times higher than it is today. A Spaces shuttle had a speed around 17500 mph. Which would mean this spacecraft would have a speed between 175,000 and 262,500 mph When in space. Markus |

I am afraid that your engineers would tell you no the problem will be fuel weight. It would be very inefficient to make one engine that can operate in an atmosphere and higher gravity environment and operate in space in a micro gravity environment.
Launching in any weather is not a problem. Any rocket can be launched in any weather these days. Whether that launch will be successful and whether the crew survives the launch is the the problem

Just like with the SAR COV-2 virus. Killing viruses is easy. Killing viruses without killing the patient is the problem.

And you're right. I guess my scientist would say it's impossible. They would probably tell me it's more efficient to develop an engine who works in space. Which would mean, using a standard rocket to send astronaut from earth to space(docking with a space dock) and then use this spacecraft with this space engine to travel in space.

Quite an historic moment in space exploration.

Congratulations!
I am still stunned by the sight of those rocket poles standing on the ship. Was stunned when i saw it the first time, am still stunned by it today.

Looks like a shaky lift off and a little fire, still very impressive!
