RE: Starship is about to launch. Watch it here

in #life7 days ago

There were kits from Estes that were available when I was young. There were various sizes of engines that were all supplied with solid fuel and required an expensive electrical ignition system. Later I used to make (much cruder) rockets from masking tape and shotgun powder.

My understanding is that the Starship isn't being used for any purpose presently except testing design iterations.
