SpaceX's Starship Approach Could Allow Big Launch Ramp-Up: Quilty

SpaceX's development approach for its Starship heavy launch rocket "looks nothing like other rockets," with the company rapidly turning out copies now rather than starting with a prototype and then scaling production, Quilty Space wrote in a note to subscribers Friday. That could let it avoid the production strain that often slows development, "easily doubling the normative cadence of new rockets, if not more," it said. That could make founder Elon Musk's vision of daily launches more feasible, though the risk is that a serial technical flaw would affect multiple rockets, it said.
