Starlab Space, the joint venture developing the Starlab commercial space station, has selected SpaceX’s Starship to launch the station on a single flight.
Even though IFT-2 didn’t reach “orbit”, it’s clear that it will make it. Even fully expendable, it must be cheaper to launch a space station in one go rather than distributed, even on a falcon.
A SPACE STATION IN ONE LAUNCH!! The future is now. (Or whenever it launches, you know what I mean.)
So it begins… :)
