you should come back to this comment in 10 years. stainless steel starship will not have left LEO.

Does this mean you think Starship HLS will fail? It will use a steel structure and is planned to be part of future Artemis missions.

Also are you willing to stake money on that claim? How about this: If before July 25th, 2036, any version of Starship made primarily of steel (HLS, future Mars versions, etc) has an apogee above 2,000km, you pay me $1,000. If not, I pay you $1,000. If you like, we can bet some other amount up to $10k. And if you prefer, the loser could donate the amount to a non-profit/charity of the winner's choosing.
